Is there a retro-fit for the M-4 magnetic cartridge?

I'm running out of options to either restore or replace the magnetic cartridge in my Philco 48-1270, M-4 record player.  West Tech does not rebuild them and his other lead had none.  Does anyone have an idea of a replacment / retro-fit for this tone arm.  Has anyone ever done it?  Help appreciated ASAP.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
