Professional Assistance With My Turntable in NYC area

I have a Music Hall 5.1 turntable whose needle recently broke. I need a replacement cartridge and would need help to install it since I am still quite a beginner in the vinyl world. I live in queens and can't seem to find any repair shops in my area. Does anyone know of any places in the greater NY area that can help me?

If it's the stock cartridge it is a moving magnet and has a user replaceable stylus. The current stock cartridge on a 5.1 is a Goldring GL 2200. The Needle Doctor sells a replacement stylus. When replacing the styus there is no need to remount or balance the arm.

Most Moving Magnet Cartridges utilize a user replaceable Stylus. It's their main advantage over Moving Coils, that and typically higher output.
