How to change the needle on your Clearaudio MM for 30 euros

I have a Clearaudio Aurum Beta that it looks like this will work with. At the time I bought it I knew barely anything about turntables and it was the peak “tier” of my spending ability. When it arrived I was disappointed that I didn’t like it any more than the Shure V15 mk IV that came with the RP-3.
 
First of all,... thank you very much, dimkasta, whoever you are, more than fifteen years with my CLEARAUDIO AURUM BETA stylus broken and using the cartridge as a paperweight, and after seeing your thread I see that it is possible to fix it. FIFTEEN YEARS that Mr. ClearAudio has stolen from me. Fortunately, I never threw it away; it's hard to throw away a useless piece of metal that cost you more than 350 euros.

SURPRISE!!!!... the original stylus is not black but green, IT WAS PAINTED BLACK!!!... if you scratch it a little with the X-acto you will discover MrClearAudio's deception.

The AT fits perfectly, they are the same, exact, an easy job.

I have had a broken GOLDRING 10-20 for over 20 years; the replacement stylus costs about 175-200 euros, an amount I am not willing to pay, and now I feel able to look for a cheaper replacement needle. I wonder if it will be the same with Goldring, and their stylus are made by another manufacturer (Chinese for sure) and they only care about choosing the model? The ways they make profit know no bounds.All I need is to find the same type or similar.
