Hey everyone! My good friend inherited a philco home system and doesn't know what model it is or if he can change the stylus/cartridge. Any help would be great identifying this system and what replacement stylus/cartridge would be ! Pictures are attached in link!

Hi and welcome,
The model is a Q 1779F and best I can tell it's from 1967. I can't seem to find any free service info for but there is Sam's Photofact  which will have in their older issues.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

I read that model as a Q1779F also but I suspect it might be Q1770PC since that is what comes up on the Sams Photofact search.  The link to that is:
