Ortophon spu-gt, which rebuild ?

I have a Ortophon SPU-GT, which came to me with no information.

It appears to have a bent stylus, but still plays nicely on some disposable vinyl.

Strangely, it appears to have a s-shaped bend, almost like it was made that way.

I have heard good things about the Sound-Smith rebuilds, but don't know which level to chose.

Are there other options I should consider?

Yes, Ortofon will rebuild the cartridge.

I see now that it is Ortofon, now that it is too late to change it. How embarrassing.

What I am not sure of is which level rebuild to go for, ruby cantilever or aluminum, which profile diamond, that sort of thing.

Also I see now that it is the elliptical version.

Should I go for stock or an upgrade ?
