Odds are not good but you CAN get lucky and find original styli for vintage mm's.

I have an Acutex M320III STR cart that I love. Best mm I've heard/owned but was resigned to sending it to VdH for what would be a fairly expensive retip. Then one day a while back I saw an ebay ad from a guy who had a bunch of NOS orig. styli for it. Bought 2 of 'em for a fairly reasonable price. Checked them out with a decent magnifying glass and they were indeed orig. styli and in perfect shape. Mounted one, sounded great. Contacted the guy and bought 3 more. I'm set for 7-10 years.

Its true that it was an exceptionally lucky break but I know others have had similar lucky breaks.
