Help with cartridge

With the world turned off, I finally got my Michell Gyrodec SE going. It has some model of a Rega arm, and a cartridge I cannot identify. Not sure how to post photos here?
Due to several cross country moves, the stylus is bent. I do know it is a low output moving coil. I need to either replace the cartridge or fix the stylus if possible. It is tan with a red line going from the head to the slight V down by the stylus.  Any suggestions would help as I feel I have a jigsaw puzzle without the lid right now.

The rest of the system is all tubes including the Wright phono stage, with a step up unit.

Sad to say it but you’ll have a hard time working with Needle Doctor (Minneapolis MN); the owner closed it last year due to poor health. I’m also pretty certain they didn’t do repairs or upgrades, just re-tip trade-ins. Perhaps you’re thinking of Soundsmith? They do re-tips and upgrades. Their boron/nude contact line diamond combo is $450.

FWIW, you might want to consider investing some extra $$$ and making a real upgrade. The Denon is a nice cartridge, but yours is rather old now and there are vastly superior carts out there brand new at the $900-$1200 price point.

Good luck and let us know what you decide to do.
