Dear Storyboy, As I mentioned, the problem is usually in the body, which is why I conclude it may have something to do with fragile coil wiring. However, if you are interested in something lesser than the P8 body, I may be able to help. I've got a passel of AKG bodies here, because I bought a group from a single buyer with some bad bodies and some broken or missing styli, during a desperate moment when I wanted a P8E or ES stylus. I could send what I have and you could pick out what you works, but as noted, I have no P8 body to spare.
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.
