CEDatum has recently received messages concerning the availability of stylus cartridges. CEDatum still has a limited quantity of cartridges in stock.
We offer several services for used and non-working cartridges including cleaning and adjustment, repair and rebuilding . In a rebuild, a new diamond tip is installed. We also offer a FREE cartridge inspection, performance check and report. Of the cartridges we have received from you, 42% needed only a tip cleaning and/or adjustment, 38% a repair and 20% a rebuild.
We believe interest in CED has many years to go.[

Nice to hear that. I have 4 I need to send to you. . 2 are working but I'd like to know condition and I believe the other 2 are not working. Can't actually remember the status of those 2. Anyway, I've got to get them boxed and sent out.
Is there any possibility of you posting any video/photos of the cartridge repair/rebuild process? I'd like to know how the heck it's done.
Not related to CED but another process is the rebuilding of rubber pinch rollers. I think there is only one guy in the united states doing that type of work. I guess that's kind of like CEDatum?? I don't know of anyone else rebuilding/repairing cartridges.

Thank you so much for your awesome service, we're really indebted to you guys! I have a new cartridge coming from you tomorrow for my SJT 400, I'm Mike Cook, socalrailroader@gmail.com.

Guys, they have new OEM belts, ic's and other goodies, make sure and support them!

i have a for sure broken cartridge (from my 400 i got from you guys a few years ago), and a few id like inspected/ cleaned but i have been waiting a long time to send them in because i hear you have a long list of them to deal with still

1. is that true
2. should i wait to send mine in
3. if not can i send them and expect them back in a fair amount of time?

i have about 4 stylus' i need checked and one surely repaired and i dont wana be a jerk and send a bunch at once and flood your work load.

also did i hear right that the hitachi stylus' arent being repaired any more?

I was wondering if you still clean and grade the Hitachi cartridges? I have 5 of them that I have no idea what their condition is. I have a 6'th one; but, you have cleaned and graded it in the past..

We receive a lot of stylus work in Sept, Oct and Nov each year. I am glad to report that we have caught up with this work. We have made improvements to the stylus repair and rebuild process . So if you need stylus testing or stylus work you can contact us now.

Hitachi - parts are no longer available for Hitachi stylus repairs and rebuilds. We will still evaluate and clean Hitachi stylus and send you a report.

CEDatum associates.
