MMC 6000 needle replacement

[Doctor_of_Jazz]

Totally newbie here and I know little about turntables, but have a 4002 that was given to me years ago.  Just thinking about getting it up and running but the cartridge has no needle.  It’s an MMC 6000, and from what I can see online, these are crazy expensive, but it seems that the MMC 20EN may be a suitable replacement.  Does anyone know if this is accurate?

I don’t know how much “crazy expensive” is, but you might find the information and available services with:

Thanks!  “Crazy Expensive” = $600+. I probably should have said “costly”, but I suppose it’s all subjective.

Appreciate the links!
