Magnavox needle installation

I have acquired a Magnavox Astro Sonic stereo console model 1P3600 with a micromatic turntable that my father purchased new in the mid to late 60's. I need instructions on how to replace the needle.

Simple--PULL the old one out--PUSH the new one in--other than that, there were 1000's of different types/set-ups for needles, and you need to either find the needle number (in which case, the packaging usually gives changing instructions), or need to find a number on the cartridge that can be used for a reference -- might check with www.needles4turntables.com, and see if a photo of your cartridge/needle is posted.

Glad it is simple, just did't want to force it if I wasn't doing it right by guessing and break something. Thanks
