The Kontrapunkt range had four cartridges, b, a, c and h (for Bach). The b and the a were introduced first with the b being a good bit more up range than the a. The c and h followed, with the c being the most expensive one but quite a bit different from the b while the h was a slightly upgraded a.
The Kontrapunkt b is the only one with the ruby cantilever and the FG80 stylus.

So if you had a messed up A, C, or H, could they refurbish it to be a B?
And I notice this guy pronounces Ortofon as , “Oar-Tea-Phone”, is that just his dialect or have I been pronouncing it wrong all my life?

I don't think the other models can be refurbished to a KB but you could always see if you could do a part exchange for a refurb b?
I think it was not just the cantilever and diamond that was different with each model, the internal parts were also different.
