Original packaging and paperwork not included. Please see my feedback and feedback comments and bid with confidence! I stand behind all my retipped cartridges, styli and retipping services. Check my feedback if you’ve got any doubts at all. The fact is, I can make your cartridge sound as good or better than new because I run a very tight QC regimen. I personally adjust and tune each cartridge until it operates at its best, which isn’t always the case when you buy new. Why take a chance on used from another vendor who can’t service what they sell and offers no warranty? Thanks for looking and, by all means, if you have any old broken or used worn cartridges or styli lying around, please contact me. I am always looking for donors. Competitive prices paid. If you need your Quintet, MC10, MC10 Super, MC10 Super MKII or MC20 Super to be retipped with this diamond or an original FG70 or any other currently available diamond, please let me know! Happy to help!
