Dear chakster, My point was that those ''glued together'' plastic or
acrylic bodies are not reparable. Peter's story is different because
for cantilever/stylus exchange only the cover above the cantilever
need to be cut. This will provide sufficient space to glue new
cantilever in the so called ''joint pipe'' . For ''refurbishing'' or changing
suspension the body need to be cut or drilled to get acces to the
generator. The tension wire screws need to be loosened in order to
get acces to coils and suspension. I don't know if retippers are
willing to do such (risky) job. But Peter also confirms the risk I
mentioned by such expensive cart. I would kill myself if my
15K cart was not reparable (grin).
