Try Russ Andrews Tip Tonik stylus cleaner as your Arkiv has most likely
got gunge build up that 'scratch' cleaning will not touch.
I've used it on my Klyde it works. Not bad for £9.95 www.russandrews.com

My Arkiv is starting to sound rather rough. Before I bought it it had been
rebuilt by the Expert Stylus Company, so I was ready to send it back to
them for another overhaul. But, I've also had "the Cartridge man"
recommended to me.

Does anyone have any good or bad experience with either of these? Is there
a
limited number of times it's worth having a rebuild done? Any opinions
gratefully received. I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment, and I
certainly can't afford a new MC cartridge.

thanks
