WTB Diamond stylus for Presto/Vanrock in US

This is where record cutters raise questions about cutting, and trade wisdom and experiment results. We love Scully, Neumann, Presto, & Rek-O-Kut lathes and Wilcox-Gay Recordios (among others). We are excited by the various modern pro and semi-pro systems, too, in production and development. We use strange, extinct disc-based dictation machines. And other stuff, too.

Where can I buy a new diamond cutting stylus for my Vanrock inside the US?

I'm also interesting in resharpening as I believe the one I have is dull

They say they have a three week turn around time to make new ones and only resharpen ones they made.

Are there any other options in the US?

Weird.. yesterday when I added one to my cart on their website with my US address it said a 150 euros.. 26 is reasonable.

I got my stylus from myshank and just tested it and wow.. sounds freakin awesome!!! I bought the synthetic diamond so I'll try to keep track of how long it lasts but the sounds quality is excellent!
