I'm just wondering how much it would cost to replace a snapped cantilever on a Denon 103 also who carries out this type of service?
Thanks in advance.

Lots of people can fix this
Expert Stylus Co (ESCO)
Northwest Analogue
Goldring
Soundsmith in the USA
Roberto Torlai in Italy
plus a few others
None of them will be able to do this for less than the cost of a new standard 103. But if you want a more exotic cantilever and stylus profile, it might be worth it. Depends on whether you are a fan of the 103 or whether you are hankering for other MC carts such as a ZYX or a SPU.

I followed the same path with a 103r and had Soundsmith fit a new alloy cantilever (to keep the 'Denon' voice) and elliptical tip for better tracking - it works on both counts and I consider it money well spent.
