Long story short - Joseph is
highly recommended and the work was done for a great price. There was literally a menu of diamond & cantilever options to fit all pockets. We went for a "
Nude 8/70 micron Ogura Vital line contact diamond on hardened tapered thin wall aluminum cantilever" which including fitting, testing and and full report with microscopic and test equipment images ame to $250 USD. Shipping was £25 GBP each way and the cartridge was back within two weeks sounding way better than new!

I found Joseph Long thru one of his eBay listings
He did an excellent job on my 103r. I went for the standard $125 (at the time ) elliptical .
Going to send him a couple of old Ortofon MCs to sort out. Highly recommended.
