Hi Pam,
The "Jewel" stylus wears quickly. Once worn it damages the record
grooves. I don't know if 60 LPs and 150 45s will wear it to the point of
damage or not.
"Sapphire might be good for 40 or 50 hours while a diamond would last at
least ten times that long."

For what it is worth. Are you feeling lucky?
Say, you recorded the "best" records first and then did the ones you
didn't care about? Maybe.
I don't think you could ever find a replacement stylus. OK, for the
price you could buy another turntable and it would have a stylus with it.
