Yes, that is an option...

Hi, cwsiggy,
Retipping a MC cartridge is certainly an option, and depending on the condition of the suspension, would provide a like-new cartridge. But I have a hunch that if all the people that could have retipped a MC cartridge did so, Peter's business would be quickly swamped. It shows that retipping MC cartridges is on the fringes and not a common alternative to trade-ins or exchanges. It may be that if retipping cartridges becomes a more common practise that Peter would expand his business or other retipping services would start up. But at this time, the choices are still potentially limiting (how 'bout them weasle words :-) in comparison with MM cartridges. But your point is a good one and certainly an affordable option.

I've been thinking about what I'll do when my favorite MC reaches the point where it needs a new stylus; retip or trade the cartridge in for a replacement?

Regards,
Tom
