Peter: I would just buy a new SMMC1 and send it to you when I got it. Straight swap and I live in the UK so there are no other taxes. However if Soundsmith are being so reasonable, I would go with them. They are a super company and each cartridge is handmade. I have a SMMC20EN, which I bought from a member who needed the money at cost price and have

I would like to sell my SMMC20CL+ cartridge ! Please give me your offers how much are you willing to pay for this cartridge. In which country are you ? I will use UPS courier.

Thanks so much, you are very kind :) If they inform me a little better and check the costs, I will tell you if I maybe interested to swap cartridges with YOU. The thing is I am afraid that my expensive cartridge maybe lost on its way to USA and then.... ?? Of course and surely there will be costs to send my cartridge to them AND to receive the new one

Not a big surprise! The BG1700 and MMC20S were the bottom of the B&O range. The SMMC20CL= is the very top of the SMMC20 range. The 20S may not be in good condition either. How much did the 20CL+ cost you? If unused, I might consider buying it from you. How about if I buy you a SMMC1 and you give me the CL+? *************************************

NoBit: Could you publish a turntable photo? http://www.beocentral.com/products/bg1700

The cost to return the SMMC20CL+ and get the cartidge you mention is too high., courier, taxes, etc. It is cheaper to buy a used BG 1700 with an MMC 20 S cartridge with stylus

Thank you ! tonight soundsmith offered to replace the cartridge with a SMMC1 and refund. Which do you think is the best solution, mine or soundsmith's ? To send to soundsmith the cartridge is waste of my time. To receive the new one, i probably pay some money, not much they say cause i have the import papers from my first one... But i have already

If i buy this player as it is used and scratched, is it possible to replace my fitting arm with the used one i will buy ? It is probably ok. with my SMMC20CL+ i guess, yes ?

I just found a beogram 1700 with a MMC 20 S cartridge with stylus. do you think this is OK to fit to my SMMC20CL+ ???

I never replaced the fitting arm. If I have changed cartidge these old days, I have bought for sure an original one just like the one I had from B&O's store in Athens, Greece. The courier is too expensive to send it to soundsmith. And I will have to pay again 250 euros as a "gift" to UPS to do the customs duties to deliver it to my
