Dynavector Karat 17D2 MR worth re-tip?

I have a couple of cartridges that I have had for many years that I never used and would like to send them for an inspection/re-tip if worthwhile?

Dynavector Karat 17D2 MR

This one looks promising and would also like some suggestions for a re-tipper. 
I have used SoundSmith before, but this cartridge may require someone special?

Looking forward to your posts!

Search audiogon, it’s been discussed before (many times). The answer is NO.

If it's like my 17D3, it's unique-ish in having a diamond cantilever that is only 17mm long, and I guess yours also has a micro-ridge stylus.  No retipper is going to be able to replicate that, let alone replace it with something like original.  If I owned it, and if I like the cartridge, I would inquire with Dynavector whether they can do it.  They have a good guy in the US.
