Advice on Shure cartridge, please

I have an old Shure V15 III HE cartridge on a Technics table. It sounds fine so far, but I was told that the plastic in the cartridge has probably dried out, and I should change the cartridge. Is that true? Any suggestion on a replacement cartridge if that were the case? Thank you.

Thanks to all, and especially to Rockvirgo for the reference to the Shure FAQ. I found the following response:

"Only the stylus wears out. The cartridge body has no parts that deteriorate. A new stylus returns the product to like-new condition."

So I only need to replace the stylus when needed. The type III stylus is no longer available; has anyone tried the SAS Jico replacement stylus for it? Thanks again.
