Bill,
Are you all set with this used Dynavector? If not and you need some help PM me. I have a
Ortofon Kontrapunkt A that is practically new (less than 10 hours on it) that I could loan you for a few months until you get back on your feet. I think I paid about $900 for it new so it is in the same price class of your Dynavector. It's one of two backup carts that I have (the other is a Benz Copper Reference but I'm not willing to loan that one out).
I don't know if the Ortofon is a good compliance match with your tonearm, so you would need to check it. If that works out then I will offer my help if you need it.
