Getting a Koetsu Onyx cartridge rebuilt - help

I have a vintage Koetsu Onyx that I'd like to have rebuilt. I don't want to use Van de Hul or Benz Micro because I don't want a hybrid back. Seem to recall reading somewhere that Koetsu has a service in London, or at least an arrangement with someone there who can do this type of work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

michael fremer from stereophile recommends the Expert Stylus Co. address: PO BOX 3, ASHEAD, SURREY KT21 2QD, ENGLAND, UK. TEL: (44)(0)1372-276604. FAX: (44)(0)1372-276147.

apparently this company can rebuild MC cartridges at a fraction of typical factory rebuilds.
let us know how you get on.
good luck !
