I have a Shinon Red Boron which was a replacement by the importer around 1991, the original had it's cantilever collapse. At that time the MSRP was $900. It had the reputation as a "poor man's Koetsu" because the sonics were similar to the Rosewood for nearly a third the cost. Mine still sounds wonderful (estimate still <1,000 hours and suspension remains good). My bat-eared audio friends cannot believe the age of this cartridge. I believe there was a Red as well as the Red Boron, the latter of course signifies the cantilever.

The above offers background without answering your question but hope it is helpful. I would contact Van den Hul for information/pricing on a new stylus.
