He has two of my cartridges for over a year. Technics 100C and P205CMKIII. He says hard to repair so I guess he gave up, but at least you'd think he'd send me back my cartridges!
What with or about irreparable cartridge?
I was very excited and glad when I (at last) got the
Sony XL 88 D (D=diamond cantilever/stylus combo).
Alas the cantilever changed somehow its position such that
the stylus was not straight. Knowing how 'easy' the cantilever
can be removed and consequently turned around
I posted my cart to Axel Schurholz. He informed me that this
cart is irreparable because the (plastic) body is glued together .
Recently the same problem occurred with the much
praised ZYX. This cart has also plastic body glued together
without any entrance possibility. The suspension was defective and
no way to get there for the repair.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your advice. You, alas, deed not mention what kind of repair Andy deed. I think that a retip can be done by any MC cart. But if one need a new suspension (ring) the underside of the cart must be cut to get near the suspension. Scary thing to do not to mention the rigidity of the (plastic) body. |
