Getting a lot of pops & crackles


I’m using  Linn Sondek turntable with an AKG cartridge and, of late, I’ve noticed a lot of pops and crackles on records which previously sounded pretty clean. Could this be due to the cartridge getting old?
Thanks

What condition do you think the stylus is in on a 30+ year old cartridge? I doubt it is good!
