i have 7 MMC cartridges that I would like to get re-tipped prior to selling my turntable collection. What are the options these days? Axel seems to have disappeared? which is a shame as I used him once before, years ago. I'm aware or the service Soundsmith provide - is there anyone else?

Cheers

Nigel

Franz-Joseph took over from Axel.
There's also pickup-service in Denmark.

Thanks Martin

There's no mention (as far as I can tell) of B&O re-tipping on Fanz-Joseph's website, but I'll email and ask him. 

Have you got any contact details for pickup service in Denmark? I've tried Googling without success....

Has anyone used "audio-origin" based in Southampton on ebay?

Cheers

Frede can also offer assistance:

Thanks again Martin - Frede's price for a MMC4 looks very reasonable

Cheers

It's here: https://www.tonabnehmerservice.de/en/B-O-Restoration/

Just pick the sub-menu according to your cartridge type.
