Audio tech stylus replacement source - any help?

I have a vintage Audio Technical moving coil cartridge. I'm advised the stylus in worn and needs replacing.
No outward identification of model, but the color is gold (top) above black.
I'm told this model is well passed available, perhaps 20 or more years, but well worth saving - one
of the very best of it's time, I'm told.
Can anyone identify from this feeble description what this model might be?  Also, Is there a source that can effect a stylus replacement on such an older model A/T?
Any help is much appreciated, fellow addicts!Bo

I appreciate the responses, folks!   If It is a moving coil, is it salvageable by a pro?

O-o-ops!  There's a 2 under the Audio/tech logo on the bottom of the
brown (Botton) section of the cartridge. Tough to see in the brown without a strong light.
Does this help?

Actually, I don't know if it's a moving coil, or a moving magnet
type. But I'm told it's a top model for Audio Technica at the
time.

Chakster??  No Comprende. Nicht verstehe.
Mofi: I think I'm better off sending the cartridge in it's shell to 
Sound Smith or Needle Doctor and let them deal with it.

Thanks to all who responded. That's what makes the Audiogon
site special! Best,
Bo

Raul; Thanks for your input!
As earlier recommended, I'm sending the cartridge to Sound Smith for their assessment of the stylus - and identification of the cartridge.

Thanks to you all for your interest and feedback!Bo
