NOS Ortofon VMS 30 MkII

I just bought a NOS/NIB Ortofon VMS 30 MkII (haven't received it yet). I'm wondering how these old Ortofon moving iron designs hold up against age (it's 20 years old!). I've read both positive and negative comments about NOS cartridges. It seems that some brands hold up better than others. Has anybody had NOS experiences with this model (or others from the VMS line)? Are the potential problems limited to the stylus part or is it likely that the rest of the cartridge will be affected too?

I can say that the one I own, and am selling on this site, works perfectly...

I used it with a Sonus (think Mayware) Formula IV unipivot arm, where I think it's probably most at home (it's one that you often hear is best for such arms), although it worked just as good on my father's RB300.
