He doesn&#39;t just re-tip but also replaces the rubber suspension that can / nearly always does perish over the years. If Axel charged double it would still be better value than buying any second hand MMC.</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>NIgel</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/322927.aspxThu, 28 Apr 2011 04:31:21 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:322927danezro0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/322927.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=322927<p>Thank you for both replies.&nbsp; I have sent an email to Axel to get a price to repair the pickup.&nbsp; If high I will let you know MMC4 about buying yours.</p> <p>By the way the website for Axel is http://www.schallplattennadeln.de</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Dan</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/322925.aspxThu, 28 Apr 2011 03:27:17 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:322925Peter0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/322925.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=322925<p>They can be repaired and this is the cheapest option - Axel in Germany will retip it - or upgrade it to an MMC2 if you want! The latter is obviously expensive! Look in the articles - his web link is there - at work so don&#39;t have it to hand! </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/322922.aspxThu, 28 Apr 2011 03:16:13 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:322922danezro0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/322922.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=322922<p>Sorry if this has been discussed before.</p> <p>I have a beogram 5005 but the needle needs replacing in the pickup.&nbsp; The normal ebay / froogle searches don&#39;t come up with anything on the cheaper side of things.</p> <p>From what I gather the pickup cannot be repaired, is there a cheaper alternative to be able to play records again, maybe a different stylus model or manufacturer?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Dan</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
