There are individuals in ownership of Ortofon Models that are more than 10 years old and are able to keep them functioning through various methods.
My endeavours with Ortofon Cartridges is one where I intend on having the purchased Cartridge to be used as a Donor Cartridge for a rebuild.
Such a Purchase is governed by Caveat Emptor.
In numerous conversations with my rebuild Technician, who has a very intimate knowledge of Ortofon Models.
There is not a Ortofon Cartridge being suggested as not usable as a result of Poor Quality Control from Ortofon.
The selection process suggested, is based on what the end user is hoping to achieve with the build, and always to seek out a Cartridge which has a cantilever that has no noticeable alignment issues.
The assessment from my end is that Ortofon have produced numerous Cartridges and as made known in this thread a particular model is transparently reported after an enquiry, as having a known of
Quality Issue, and has been discovered and Ironed Out.
I am remaining confident with Ortofon, and feel there will be other reliable donor cartridges to found for future endeavours.
If Ortofon were not so transparent with their explanation about the Quality Issue, this thread may have been a request to be informed on a reliable repair Technician, who could secure the Pins.
