cartridge repair....repair service center needed

Dear frogman, According to J. Carr the least harm by the so

called ''refurbishing'' is the stylus only exchange. Cantilever

(boron) + stylus is about $500. Monster cartridge can be get

for about the same price. The best ''place'' for the new stylus

is ''Expert stylus, uk'' (=/- 180 GBP).

Dear @frogman , my advice was not accidental. First gluing an

new stylus in the ''old'' cantilever is much more difficult than gluing

the cantilever/stylus combo in the so called ''joint pipe''. Second not

every repair service offers this possibility. I moved to ''Expertstylus''

because my friend Axel was not (anymore) willing to do ''only

stylus'' exchange. The engineer by Expertstylus who does this work

has 40 years of experience. Besides they produce their own styli

with ''Paratrace'' ( variation of micro ridge) as their best. 180 GBP

all included was my price.
