I've got a Dynavector 10x4, bought in 1985, on my '83 Rega Planar 3/R200. I thought the cantilever was bent, but on closer inspection it seems ok. As I don't very often listen to vinyl - shame on me, I know - and the suspension will be well past it's best,
I want to replace it, but I'm unable to afford to buy a new one, much as I'd like to, or have it rebuilt.
I contacted Pear Audio, who told me not to just throw it away as it has value, but I'm unsure where the value is. I still have the original packaging, and it's still mounted and ready for use, but could I sell it?
I'm happy to remove it from the headshell, which I need to keep, obviously.
I'm thinking of replacing it with an Ortofon 2m, preferably blue if I can persuade the manager, but something near to £100, as I still need a phono amp - Fono mini in mind, or 2nd-hand 640P.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
