Make me feel better


I broke my cantilever off!
A Denon DL-103S with ~25 hours on it!
I hit it with my knuckle (finger) and it bent straight down and to the left.
I tried to get it back in position and it just fell off.
Tell me I'm not the only klutz with cartridges!
$250 wasted! Can anyone beat that?
I dont drink..what should I do to feel better?

Not turntable-related, but I was recently experimenting with some DIY roller ball isolators under my tube monoblocks. I bumped one of the amps and it rolled backwards out of the rack, pulling the CD player with it, which in turn pulled the other amp down. Luckily, beause of the cables, everything fell very slowly and I was able to grab the CD player before fell completely. The only damage was one rectifier tube (and about 5 years off my life from the stress).
