Question about tt120 and sd230

Hi!

I have inherited an old hi-fi set from my late dad. I remember him listening to a lot when I was a kid then later put it away and it was not in use for a long time. The set includes:

tt120 turntable

sd230 cassette player

tt310 radio

pm230 amplifier

HD 460 speakers

the amp and radio works fine, I have even managed to connect the amp to my computer so can use it that way for now. However I would really like to listen to my dads old cassettes and vinyls. The cassette player needs to have the belts replaced as they have basically disintegrated, I think that I can do easily enough but I am at a loss for the turntable. It turns on and the disk is turning but I remember my dad saying that the reason he put it away was that the needle was broken. I see so many options for a replacement needle that I am at aloss, what could be a good one for me to get And do you know of any videos or texts explaining how exactly to replace it?

Also: is it possible to open up the speakers? They work fine but when moving them I heard something moving inside sounded like a small piece of metal. I am wondering if I should get that checked out too.

Thank you in advance!
