It seems often these days that we receive poor or shonky service however today my cartridges arrived back from Axel and after testing them I was so impressed with his work that I felt it shouldn't go unrecognised on the Forum. I would like to publicly express my thanks to Axel for providing a good service and also for such a quick turnaround of my two cartridges and based on my personal experience would be happy to recommend his work to anyone who needs a cartridge rebuilding.

I can only agree with you.
I had a bunch of cartridges done by Axel and the results were excellent.
Quality never goes out of style, it just gets harder to find.

How do the MMC20 range fair with a retip..? Does he chop the end off like the later range or is he more restricted...? Last I checked there were only the MMC x range on his site...
I think Peter has had a 20CL or similar done so he will know.
Axel has my first 3 MMC20 series of mine to do at the moment, due back any day. He has done loads of MMC4's and MMC2's for me and they have all been superb.
I only have good things to say about the rebuilt MMC20's.

I have had a MMC5000 and a MMC20S retipped - both with Shibata tips. The fronts are not cut off. They are both superb . Soundproof has also tested them both and liked them.
Axel will be busy on my behalf soon. I have an MMC2 I want him to look at, and then I'll be needing an SP for my Beogram 3000 Thorens, and I believe I'll do what Peter did, and have that retipped.
And I have an SP 8/9 which I'll mount on another tonearm ... that should be looked at.
The MMC5000 Peter mentions above is wonderful.
Anyone want to guess when B&O are coming with a vinyl deck? 😁
One thing I would like to know is what the various tips should look like in top notch condition, and some way of grading the general appearance e.g. visiula difference between a CL and S type - has Beoworld ever tried to get members to take some snaps of needles of various conditions?

Peter has taken quite a few with his microscope over the years, but I don't think anyone's had a bash systematically at doing this.
