Bent cantilever on Dynavector 10x5 Screwed?

I have been avoiding this for weeks, but finally got the courage to look into my cartridge. (CDs only of late.)

Something is seriously screwed up. The cantilever is loose, and it has definitely been bent. It bent when I placed it on my Shure Sylus Force Gauge, and I did it very gently of course. So, am I out a cartridge or can I have it fixed? Is it even worth fixing?

I really don't know how this happened. I just know I noticed distortion on the last record I played (about two weeks ago)....Might have been a friend.

I busted 2 cants on both my previous 10x5....Their worth 20%off the purchase on another dyna cart. The cantilever is very exposed on this cart.

So I tried a Denon DL 103 Low ouput cart and WOW blows away the dyna. The soundstage is huge compared to the Dynavector and has more presence. Especially if you listen to rock. I'm no expert but after owning 2 Dynavectors I'm fairly familiar with it's potential...
