tzh, Soundsmith make replacement cartridges that plug right in to the Beogram tonearm, last I looked. If not, they can at least repair any B&O cartridge.
Plus the turntable was a bit too beautiful looking and elegant for diehard audiophiles in its day. The TOTL B&O cartridges that were sold with the tt are certainly NOT lo-fi. I rank my MMC1 as fantastic among ~ 15-20 cartridges I own. It is no accident that a connoisseur like Peter Ledermann chose the B&O moving iron design style on which to model his entire line of cartridges.
