Photos as promised,

The only item not pictured is the stylus sheath (the thin rubber sheet at the bottom of the cutter that the stylus pokes through)

Being easter I am busy with family events so the kits will be available from the end of next week... Ive been busy over the past couple days rebuilding a customers cutter and I completely forgot to get bags + padded mailing pouches.

There will be an introductory price of $100 AUD for the first lot of kits listed, once the first lot are sold there will be an increase....

This introductory price is what I normally charge for the 2 coils alone... I'm not just winding coils - I am manufacturing these parts out of metal, plastic and rubber which takes time and money...

$65 Might cover a single coil kit for heads like Audax & RCA, Which I may consider doing if there is a big enough demand and I accumulate enough original parts to replicate...

The stylus screw damping dot is mounted on the front of the cutters cover and the screw pokes through it...

The damping parts are all virgin, They are not pierced unless requested by the customer

The voice coils are wound with 32 AWG, The wire coating is rated to 200°C and the teflon spools are rated to 260°C

I'd like to try it. I made my own voice coils when mine burnt, but I don't think they're nearly as nice as yours. I was listening to some older cuts yesterday and was shocked by how much louder they were than my more recent ones.
would you prefer I use the ebay link, or deal with you directly and cut out the middleman?
