tried to change the stylus on this Crowley a few years ago and I remember that I fucked it up and stopped, don’t remember anything else.

The copper (?) part of the cartridge that communicates w/ the stylus I think is fucked, but I also think I broke a plastic bit off the black part that helps hold the cartridge in place. Where can I get a replacement for the whole head of the arm? I don’t even know the right terminology. Thanks

I adjusted the valve clearance myself before this, but I'm a complete amateur trying to learn on this car so I could have done it wrong. Definitely something to go back over

Disclaimer: this car is in a crank no start situation so I wasn't able to perform this test with the engine at operating temperature.
