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.

Thanks for all the feedback. I guess I'll look into repairing it to at least see how much this would cost. 20% on a trade doesn't sound that great, but I am glad to hear there is something.

I've heard the Denon DL103 is a good match for Rega arms, and I have a P5; so I may go that route. We'll see....
