[NJARC] Rebuild crystal cartridge

[RanchFolk at aol.com]

Matt,
I also had an Astatic Crystal Cartridge recently rebuilt by West-Tech. They 
 did a great job! The cost was a flat $40.00 which included the return  
shipping. The turn around time was two weeks from the time I shipped it  out. 
Highly recommended based on my experience. BTW, they also rebuild Idler  
Wheels as well.

I had a D-10 cartridge repaired by this  outfit:

They  did a real nice job with a quick turn-around time. The phonograph now 
sounds  great.

CAVEAT: I am not affiliated with West-Tech.  I'm just a satisfied customer.
