I have taken to importing high-output cartridges (an expensive option with current exchange rates + shipping) as they are no longer available in Europe. But what can arrive as a perfect looking NOS item can be DOA. This has happened 3 times.
Some re-manufuctured cartridges available in the UK (esp. Ronette crystal or ceramic copies) can vary in quality. I have recently bought a new re-manufacturered BSR TC8H (known as a HTC8) and it was asbolutely fine. But any reputable seller will re-imburse if found out to be dud or down in output.
