NOS Grace F9E question


A friend of mine gave me a Grace F9E to try on my 1200G.  He thinks it may be a good fit.  It appears to be brand new and never used.  It has a plastic protector that covers practically the entire cartridge.  I cannot get it off as it is on there very tight.  Is there any special way to get it of and not damage the cartridge?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

My prejudice is that MM styli with tension wire are special.

J. Carr ever explained the function but i forget his arguments.

Anyway those Grace , AT's , Technics 205 , some Jico ''SAS''

 and some other use tension wire which is usual by MC kinds.

Their function by MC carts is to connect moving parts with the

generator.  

Dear chakster, I own both; JVC-X1, mk1 as well mk2 . Both

have solid beryllium cantilever + shibata stylus. If titanium

cantilevers are available  than as separate styli. There are also

aluminum kinds available for both X-1,mk 1 and mk 2.
