While googling, I came across this:

Anyone tried it before? Or will that hack only work well in a mono cartridge?
I have several piezo buzzers I've salvaged... and it's not as though they are expensive. Perhaps I'll give it a shot.
I would say don't bother with that, a good replacement cartridge should not
be that hard to find, and it will come with brand new styli. By the way
I looked at your site (thanks for the credit to me regarding the schematic!)
and I wonder why you concluded that the oscillator coil was shot.
Maybe it's obvious to you, but did you trace the connections to the
rest of the circuit to confirm that something was wrong? Good luck.
