Hello Hello,

we got the next bunch of jewelery quality diamond styli made.
Made for Neumann, Vinylium and Caruso heads.
Incl heating wire...

As these are made by a super specialised high-tech company
the price has been quite high in the past.
It is stil 250 EUR plus tax for one
but we would like to make a special offer here for all of you:
2 x styli for 475 EUR and 3 x styli for 700 EUR

we know that is a lot of cash
but maybe it helps some of you to get your projects going..

all my best
mart

order via mail order@vinylike.com

Hi Mart,

Can your Jeweler company reshape/sharpen used transco styli?
If so, you'd be selling them like crazy.

If all of us cutters sent in our used styli to a specialized Jeweler who could do this, then sell them back for half the price of a new one we'd love it.

I'm interested in your thoughts on an operation like this.

Hey JJG!

Ameise is talking about diamonds for hard material
cutting (like PVC, Lexan, whatever..)

Resharpen a Ruby or Adamant for Laquer cutting makes
not that much sense, because a new one is only 80 Euro.
If you think about the shipping, handling, facette grinding,
it is too much work, and nobody wants to to that for some
Euros...

or not ?

Thanks Andybee!

I guess the only way to have it make sense is to find somebody local.
There was a guy here who used to do it back in the day, but that was a very different time...

Ok Have a great weekend,
JJG

The idea of sending saying 20 used Neumann sapphires at once....

Something tells me that they do not offer this quite obvious service of regrinding their stylus because they want you to purchase new ones for higher prices. Business.

Interesting. I wonder who that is. I can say that the Vinylike diamonds are fantastic!
