Resurrect it with a new cut down shibata or micro-ridge stylus from the new AT-95 line up.

worth it.

See the at-95 mod works, that are out there in the world, for instructions on bringing it back to life.  (cutting down the new stylus body)

BTW, it has PC-OCC copper coils, which none of the other AT-95 variants have, save a desirable and sought after few. 

If you don't want it, I'll take it. I'm doing some experimental work on at-95's and need another k-18 to work with. A control and the experiment, which means - two of them.
