I wish! When I did it the whole cantilever was gone. Only Saving Grace was that the cartridge was a Shure so I was only out the cost of a replacement stylus instead of the whole cartridge. I'm much more careful now.
Cartridge abuse
Has anyone ever had an accident of abuse to your stylus/cantilever, and amazed that the thing still works ?
I was mounting my 17d the other day, and i guess had a momentary spazz out or something, but anyway, dropped the stylus a couple of times on my vtf gauge, then ended up banging the side of the cant. on the side of the gauge, and bounced it a few times, i felt sick at the time, but everything look ok, and sounds just fine, it's a pretty tough cart. i guess. i think i mainly just wanted to vent, but also to see if anyone else has subconciously tried to detroy their expensive cartridge. thanks.
