''Now the prices vary from about 80 for a new tip ...to full 1500
GBP for a rebuld''.
Dear dover , this may be regarded as a joke in relationship to
Shelter 501 but ''in general'' the numbers are correct. My Koetsu
Rosewood Signature was ''refurbished'' by Koetsu for 2000 euro
while the lowest retip price by Axel Schurholz was (he retired) 90
euro for elliptical stylus in aluminum cantilever.
As by religions belief is much more important than facts. There
are those who believe that only the manifacturer of the cart
can do ''the best'' job on ''their'' cart . BTW we already discussed
the same topic in the thread about Benz LP. I am not sure about
Benz but Ortofon offers the same ''refurbishing'' as Koetsu for
the similar price.
Lohanimal also believes that ''somewhere else'' the girls are much
more beautiful, But in my opinion his ''own'' (aka British) ''Expert
stylus Co'' is ''the best'' in his case. One need also to consider
the import duty by posting his cart abroad. In his case outside of
E. Union. For the time being that is (grin).
