Ortofon A90 broken stylus

So the long and short. I purchased one of the 1st A90 carts to come up for sale on Agon. This was about 10 months ago, was in great condition, all factory packing, box etc. Then in Feb. I put on a disk and let down the the arm - the cart just slid across the record - OS batman - as looked at the A 90 - no stylus, it had broken off at the body. Nothing was left. Called for help and got a hold of Louis - Ortofon in Ossining NY. He said to send it in and he would send this to Denmark for review and probably would have to pay 50% to rebuild. So I have been waiting for the past months and a box comes from Ortofon. I opened and here was my A 90 - all rebuilt and a packing slip - Warranty, fully rebuilt. Thank you Ortofon!!!!

All cartridge manufacturers I know do the rebuild service. But they charge money for it. When Ortofon made it for free, great.

That is a great Thread to keep the limited Edition A-90 alive. Don't panic when you still haven't one. Some Dealers bought a dozen and will sell them until they are gone. Then the next super duper game changer Ortofon Anna will follow.
But that one has a Body (not from sonics....to hold it) :-)

Be quick and sell them, the next game changer from Ortofon is available.
Hard to imagine that it is better than the former game changer A-90 but Dealers told me, the next step is unbelievable compared to A-90...
