[NJARC] Rebuild crystal cartridge

[Aaron Hunter]

Matt

I've used West Tech Services for cartridge rebuild with good results so far.

I've purchased replacement cartridges from Ed Crockett at this site:

I've seen web sites regarding rebuilding your own cartridge, but haven't 
tried it. 

Hope this helps.

The cartridge is for a Philco D-10 record changer.  I have done some researching and have found it is quite a common changer, and it is even more common for crystal cartridges to fail.  Since I am relatively new to cartridges I am asking for some opinions, etc.
