I have a dead original crystal phono cartridge from a Philco 41-605. I need to have it rebuilt. I have read Syl's tutorial on doing this oneself, and I really don't want to attempt it.
Where can I send the cartridge to pay someone to rebuild it for me?
Thanks,
Mark K8KZ

As I mentioned earlier
West-Tech is the only place I know about. However, Kirk (
OldRestorer) has recently announced he has successfully rebuilt a cartridge or two and is even growing his own crystals. Maybe give him a shout and see if he's ready to take on a trial customer.

John,
This morning I contacted West-Tech and Gib sent me an email saying they would rebuild it for $50. So I think I will go that route.
