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

When you align your cartridge, make it so the cantilever is straight, not the cartridge body. There may be no difference in how it sounds, as long as it's aligned properly. Best of luck, regards, Dan

But it's a pity how many brand new cartridges seem to be coming through with bent cantilevers. I recently had a bad experience with a very well known manufacturer. I never should have accepted the cartridge from the dealer, but i did. Now over $1,000 later after sending it back for a rebuild, i've learned my leason LOL.
