Keep an eye on the Ortofon Treasure Trove. They get them in periodically.Originally Posted by mikeyb
There are a couple online too but no history with them.
It's a worldie of a cart. Good luck!

Go for the Kontrapunkt C a stunning cartridge. One going on the Bay for £1350 NOS (never been out the box) you won’t have another chance.

Yep, saw that. Was above the B in the range, can only imagine it is excellent. NOS as well so yes, very unlikely there'll be another. Only draw back will likely be the price.
I dont think the boys were looking to spend that much, but yeah, a rare opportunity

I’ve already sent 2 messages to the seller in Germany, but as yet no reply so I figure I’d leave it alone if they can’t be bothered replying.
Fair enough. They do seem to operate a little different over there. Still, they might come back to you.
