Thank you so much, Master,

His website suggests that Axel still offers this. 

I'm so grateful to you for all your help.

Bye for now.

I am going to hijack this a little.  I have an MMC1 that I wasn't using.  I just looked at it and discovered the cantilever is missing.  Can this be repaired by Axel?

 

Thanks,

JO

Yes, he can.

The cartridge bodies of the series MMC1-5 are identical so you can choose whichever diamond and cantilever you like from the list of options.

if you can hold off a little while, I can demo to you an MMC1 and MMC2 that will have been repaired by an expert friend of mine in the UK, we are pretty close to offering an alternative service to Soundsmith and Schallplattenadln (Axel) , sadly your need to re-tip an MMC1 has come a tad too soon, but if you like the sound of the two MMC's that I have, then it will probably be worth the wait

what Beogram model do you have ?

That's good to hear, and best of luck.

Our Beogram is a 7000.

Regards.

I had the $150 retip from Mr. Lederman on an MCC3000 and love it. For some material it's my favorite cartridge.

I'm sure you are both right about SoundSmith.  The problem for those of us in Europe is the shipping cost!

Cheers..

Soundsmith sells new MMC cartridges produced by themselves.  I have a Soundsmith MMC1 and it is perfect.

Axel has an excellent reputation.  I am going to request he restore a MMC1 cartridge that is missing the cantilever.

I have a Beogram 7000 and Beogram 9500.
