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?

Well we again are confronted wirh parts and wholes. By
trying to reduce ''weight'' or ''mass' there is not much choice
possible. Either coils or cantilevers as part of moving parts.
So if ''mass reduction'' is the aim then those two are primary
''objects od attention''. As should be obvious the cantilever
was chosen by Dyna for this purpose. But where can one
get those short cantilevers? Even the usual or ''standard''
are in short supply. So even our well informed member
from (Dutch) New Zeeland was forced to post his sample
to the manufacturer. He deed not mention the costs.


Among many arts there is also the ''art of searching for the
exceptional carts''. My young brother Chakster is too modest
to claim such gift. But one can ''deduce'' this gift from his
cart collection. Say FR-7fz, Takeda's Miaybi ... etc., etc.
Not to mention his MM kinds (grin).
