Most M/C cartridges can be retipped and there are several companies that will do it. A point to consider here is if the cartridge is 12 years old, how fit is the cantilever suspension and maybe the rest of the components?
I would under your circumstances recommend contacting Dominic Harper of North West Analogue.

I know Dominic personally although I have no interest in his business or livelihood. I am sure he could do the retip and in doing so offer an option on stylus profile and, if you are interested, cantilever type and any degree of rebuild you might consider appropriate. He will deal with suspension and even rewind the coils if necessary. He is a highly competent albeit not so well known engineer who builds his own cartridges and the ones I have heard are for me the very best I have ever heard.
This recommendation is made completely without predudice.
