''Óriginal parts'', ''identity '' and ''retip'' conundrum
The ''identity enigma'' is easy to explain with ''ownership''. Not everyone is familiar with logic or philosophy but everyone owns something or other.
Ownership assume ''one to one relation'' between an person (legal
bodies included) and one object of ownership. Think of question how
you can prove to own some object. You can also think about question
how to prove to be owner of, say an part of your stolen car.
What the ''force'' of the expression ''original'' is , is an enigma.
However Americans are typical example of people who are very
fond of ''original parts'' and willing to pay huge amount of money
for the ''precious'' (grin). By the so called ''retips'' the assumption
is also ''original'' versus ''not original parts''. This means that
every manufacturer as well ''retiper'' uses his own styli and or
cantilevers. The fact however is that they all buy those ''parts''
by either by Namiki or Ogura. So, logicaly speaking, the origin
of those ''parts'' are either Namiki or Ogura. Is gluing an cantilever/
stylus combo in the ''joint pipe'' rocket science?
Your grandfather sounds like he was a very tolerant and forgiving man, in the circumstances. What an exceptionally dumb horse, though - perhaps it thought it was clever in enduring all those incentives simply to avoid the easy and common sense solution to occasionally trotting off to market. |
Dear dover, We can use your ''dead horse'' as description for your 3 worn out styli which are ''rebuild'' by Dynavector for ''refreshement price''. of, say, half the retail price . This imply 50% of the just mentioned price. While you should know that 30% is their usual ''profit margin ''. As a former ''dealer'' you should know the prices. Well you could also do ''only the stylus retip'' by Axel for, say, 200 euro. But , as I mentioned by Marlene Ditrich , rich men or women are not well ''connected'' to the real world. There is also similar story about Marie Antoinette who was wondering why people do not eat cookie when they lack bread. You should ''keep your point'' by your remark about economic and budget. BTW I assume they in (Dutch) New Zeeland have TV? On the TV you can see the whole day Ads about prices. The not recognize terror on human kind.
