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.
Whatever you do DO NOT put anything inside the cartridge. The insides
are very fragile and you could break connections etc.
Now you have the stylus out have a look at

and see if there is anything that might give you a pointer.
Seems to me that your best route if you are not happy with what you
have would be to buy new?
