Hey all,

This is a bit of a long shot admittedly, but I wandered my way over here after reading Syl’s thread on repairing crystal cartridges and have already tried West Tech Services which I understand are no longer in business.
I have a 1940s Recordette vinyl cutter with a crystal cartridge that no longer functions. Is there anyone, anywhere that can repair these things? The process appears to be way above my pay grade.
A photo of the similar cartridge is attached.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you everyone!
Cheers from Catskill, NY.
Alex
