Vinyl: I put one on the turntable and when the needle dropped... I was stunned 🎶

Tape player is a cheap one I picked up for $10 at a garage sale, receiver and speakers were the ones I grew up with. Record player came later as my mother had thrown away original reel to reel and record player.
Here is a link to the radio station: http://coastradio.org/ and yes, you can listen online. They feature NPR :/ which not everyone likes, but the rest of the shows are covered by local, volunteer d.j.'s.
I am ashamed to say I don't know which element, I looked yesterday to try and see the number and couldn't w/o removing. After reading your article, I'm going to change the needle and cartridge.
Any suggestions?

Ok quick reply, need to go for my first training in the pool from the new season.

Does the needle looks like this one:

I think you can better replace the element (instead of only the needle) and probably a AT-92E or a AT-95E element would fit. The 92 is cheaper, the 95 produces better sound quality. Will do a better search later, can you post an close-up picture from the element?

Hope you had a great swim!
Here are a couple of pics. Sorry they aren't the clearest. Looks similar to the one you pictured above.
Thanks!

They look similar indeed. Think you will do a hell of an upgrade with the elements I mentioned.

Edit: The swim was great thanks for asking! Tonight the second one yihaa!
Edit2: Friday day off because I need to prepare for a dinner on saturday. So wil give the radiostation you mentioned a try than. Will let you know.

Can't wait! Thank you for your help :)
Yihaa!

And did you upgrade? :D

Yes, have ordered, but haven't got it yet, so I'll let you know how it sounds :) Thank you for the article and recommendations!~
