bent cantilever

I have a Dynavector 20X2L that the cantilever is slightly bent off center. Any advice/remedy without having to have it retipped? Thanks

Send to factory and hope they offer rebuild or trade in. Kuzma dealer bent cantilever on my Dynavector while taking a closeup picture of it after he installed it. Dynavector helped him out with with the cost of a new replacement. Lyra gives a trade in price. Best Wishes. Be careful in the future.

Here is some info that may or may not be be relevant. It was posted by the designer of Lyra cartridges. Read the post from Jcarr posted 04-05-2014 3:45am Read, JCarr post/responses The relevant info would be the effect of ferrous material attracted to the magnetic fields of the coils/magnet and the collection of such material affecting the stylus alignment. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/rega-rp10-vta-shims?highlight=Rega%2BVTA
