Default Audio-Technica AT-PL50?

Anyone know about this turntable? (Apparently it's been rebadged and sold under various other companies, also.) From what I've heard, it's got a crappy needle. But here's the story. I can get it for like $30. Would it be possible to get a non-crappy needle (for around another $30 or so?)

Sorry, but the table itself is crappy, too - a better needle or cartridge would be a waste. If you don't want to buy used, the cheapest classic entry-level model with half-decent quality remaining today would be the Technics SL-BD20 for ~ US$ 150.

Greetings from Munich!
