What makes you think it needs replacing anyway? Removed the cartridge
carrier complete and look at the stylus end on with a powerful
magnifying lens or better still under a microscope. If it is damaged
it will be obvious.


Could it do any harm to spray some alcohol cleaning solution into the
cartridge or some crc to clean the gunk out, can't find any reference to
doing this in my google searches.
