About 10 years ago I purchased this cartridge new. After using it for about a year and while making a completely unnecessary adjustment, I snapped off the cantilever. A $1200 cartridge, gone in about a second. After berating myself for this fat-fingered mistake I put the cartridge away, vowing to have it fixed as soon as possible. I never did. It's been sitting in a box ever since then.

I thought perhaps someone might want it for either a retip or as a trade-in for a new Lyra. I've seen offers where a discount will be provided for a new purchase with a trade-in, no matter the condition. I should add that I've never sent this in for examination so I can't say with certainty that the damage was restricted to the cantilever. I can only say that this would be the third cartridge where I've snapped the cantilever. Soundsmith fixed the other two very nicely. No mounting screws are available. I don't know what happened to them.
