Ortofon FF15 Any Good?

I got an Ortofon FF15E MKII (with a red stylus assembly) mixed with some other stuff. I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this cartridge. I'm particularly wondering if it's worth buying a new stylus assembly for it. (It seems to me that the stylus price is, at most, about $40, from what I see on dealer's websites.) Or, is this cartridge one that's too old to be worth bothering with, and should be installed at the bottom of a land fill?

Hi,
I wonder if you would be better off just buying a new cartridge for almost the same money. Your cartridge may have issues with dust, drying out, etc... You can get a new ortofon OM-5 for probably $60 and would probably be happier. I've had problems with old cartridges.....
