Dynavector coil repair


Does anyone know where I could have the coils replaced on my Dynavector 17d3. The cartridge only has a few hours on it and to make a long story short I stupidly hooked up my phono stage incorrectly and shorted both coils! I tried e-mailing Dynavector but they just referred me to the distributor who just wants to sell me a new cart! I have to say I expected better service on such an expensive product. Any leads would be appreciated.

Thanks

Advising someone to vent one's disappointment on Dynavector after he basically destroyed a cartridge seems ungenerous. And I'm not so sure the repair is quite so easy as "a nominal fee, say $100" suggests. I don't mean to denigrate 80stech or Bucanero 117 in any way, but perhaps a more measured approach to a solution could be found.
