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.

That cartridge is a Denon 103D. Low-output mc with an elliptical stylus. I have one in my collection. Excellent sound quality! Alas, no longer in production. Send it out for a new stylus/cantilever.Or buy a new Hana LS (low-output Shibata stylus) mc.  
A Denon 103D with a new stylus/cantilever (Shibata, Microridge, Hyperelliptical ...) would be the most cost effective. And a formidable contender against present day cartridges!

The 103S has a white body with a red line on the front. And sold new for $180 back in 1977!
