Rebuilding Your B&O Cartridge

To translate this page click this! *see top right dropdown menu

We can often rebuild original B&O cartridges, but it does not make sense to rebuild certain original models. The reason for this is that there are many INTERNAL aging effects that require complete rebuilding and would be more costly to do than for us to build new production models. This includes the original MMC5, 4, and 3 - we strongly suggest buying new units from us with our 2 year warranty. We CAN and do rebuild the original MMC2 and MMC1 and other models. If the stylus is intact (not broken off), and found to be NOT worn on careful microscopic inspection, we can rebuild them for internal problems such as lost channels or distortion - for a flat fee of $395. If the stylus is worn or snapped, we can fully rebuild as new, allowing you to realize a major savings compared to the cost of our new models. Even IF the stylus is worn or snapped off, we can FULLY rebuild for $599 (MMC2) or $799 (MMC1) saving you $200 off the price of our new models. 

IMPORTANT ! When you use our link below to get an RA number for sending us your original B&O cartridge  PLEASE DO NOT use the prices shown on the retipping page as those prices DO NOT APPLY to B&O models and it will SLOW DOWN YOUR REPAIR considerably as we will put it aside. You must select “OTHER” and type in the rebuild price for a given model, as described below. Not following this instruction will slow down your repair considerably.

We rebuild Soundsmith made B&O cartridges, as well as most (but not all) original B&O cartridges.As stated above, it is not cost effective to fully rebuild the original MMC5, MMC4 and MMC3 models.
