Webcor Overture Model 1165-1 needles?

I am trying to help a neighbor find a needle for her record player. On the turntable it says "Webcor #A1930 45 rpm spindle adapter" and the back says the model # is WC1165-1 or maybe WO1165-1. I have found a couple online vendors that have Webcor needles available, but none matches her model. Does anyone have any idea what I need to get for her player?

Thanks for your help!

I also have a Webcor Overture. When new, these came with a Sonotone 8T cartridge, and if this is still the type of cartridge in your neighbor's unit, it will require a Sonotone 8T needle for replacement. It is a two-sided flip over needle (one side for LP's and one side for 78's). You should look for a replacement with a diamond stylus for LP play which will give you longer needle life. This is indicated with a number usually listed as "Replaces Sonotone 8T 804-DS77" the D is for diamond.
