Soundsmith is not just a source for new, they also retip MMC1 and MMC2 cartridges from the MMCx line. I have not tried that service, but did Peter Ledermann's $150 retip on a MMC3000. Quite happy with that cartridge in a BG3404/BM2400 system. Quite possibly the best $150 I ever spent on stereo equipment in my life.
Haven't tried Axel as I'm in the U.S., but never heard anything but high praise for his work.
Benny Amina in the U.S. also retips MMCx to MMC4 specs. I have used one of Benny's retips in an RX2 for going on 2 years now and have also been quite happy with the result.
