re-tipping Dynavector17D?


I have a Dynavector 17D that needs retipping. I am NOT interested in another cartridge.
I was wondering if anybody has had experience with re-tipping of this cartridge?
Any stories or experiences with re tipping good and or bad would be appreciated.
Who does this type of work?
What would be be the cost?

Dynavector has an exchange plan. In the case of this cartridge I would do that.
Just to note you may not be able to exchange for the exact same model. The program may just give you a discount on a DX, unless they have that model still available as back stock.

Comments from a dealer. No relationship.

I don't know whether it is possible to insert a new diamond in the square cut hole, but it sounds very difficult.

You should ask how he plans to effect the repair. He is the only person that can answer your question about his planned repair methods.

... he’s offering to do a line contact stylus for $500 or a .2/.7 elliptical for $250.

Is it even possible to get a new diamond into the square-cut hole where the original diamond was bonded? Would he just be gluing a new diamond to the tip?
