It says Ortofon VMS5E MKII on the cartridge... any ideas where to
pick up a replacement?

Cheers..

I've found Mantra Audio very helpful.

www.mantra-audio.co.uk

They list the VMS10E (an upgrade for the VMS5E) at £ 17.00 inc VAT

Try and get an Ortofon original replacement. I've had iffy results
with the generic copies although they are a lot cheaper, their web
site doesn't make clear if the stylus is an original. You may want to
'phone them on 01757 288652

Thanks for the info Serge... using your tips i located this

Original and brand spanking new!

Looks good but I still wonder if it _really_ is made by Ortofon as it says
'colour may vary from the original' I'd be interested to hear if/when you
get it as I've got a few Ortofon cartridges.
