Can a Sumiko BPS be retipped at a reasonable cost.

The stylus broke.

I'm sure that digging through some old Stereophile's will turn up the exact solution. I think it was simply a matter of adding some shielding above the motor and all was taken care of. Sean >

I retipped a BPS 3 times (OK, OK, joke's over:>)) at V D Hul for $~80/time. But this was in Europe. Good luck!
