MMC Pickup repair

26 replies

Hello again, hope everyone had a good time, did not have much time to write but I've had time to buy some tools and will soon make an attempt to serve a MMC needle.

Will tell you more and add some pictures.

Have a good time, as long as you wait for pictures.

Best regards

I'm really interested in seeing how this works out for you. I am pretty sure I don't have the manual dexterity or steady hands for this, but am very interested in how this would be done.

I am trying to send Axel S an e-mail, but the are using an insane kind of Prüfcode.

I had a loose cantilever, so got to open the cartridge. Now what should I do? Re-glue the cantilever cross to the suspension? Are there supposed to be any wire connections on the back?

 

Thanks for any help :)

The bonded sphericals that Axel used were of poor quality (I had two done - the microscope tells the truth).

I do hope Alistair does a better job.

Jacques, what microscope you use to inspect your needles?  I'm looking for one but don't want to spend thousands on this alone...

Thanks!
