AKG P8e cartridge coils are known to go bad ?

It seems that the cartridge coils of the p6, p7, p8 open up over time, and it's not a matter of wire connections to the pins. This makes for an impossible fix.

The specs on these models all look the same electrically, so they should be interchangeable - does anyone know for sure? I'm looking for a good cartridge body to use with my p8es stylus.

Dear Storyboy: That is not my experience with AKG cartridges ( including that model that I own. ), what I found out is that sometimes the cartridge suspension goes " out of work "/specs.

Right now there is no one on ebay but it is there where ( over time ) you can find out that body cartridge/cartridge you are asking for.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
