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?

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?

He has responded, and he reports that he has done this many times, to great success. He removes the old stylus, and has small enough styli to fit back into the hole (or split, as it sometimes is), and re-bond it. 

I'll report back on how it sounds when I receive it!
My 17d3 tip broke off recently, is it worth anything to someone still? Or is it trash now? I opted to buy a new cart (art9xi), which sounds great.
