Crossword Genius

Record reader and writer (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stylus

This clue is a double definition.

'record reader' is the first definition.
(point used to read a vinyl record)

'writer' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for stylus that I've seen before include "Engraving instrument" , "One going on record" , "Old writing implement" , "LP tracker" , "Pointed tool for writing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
