A suggestion for MM/MC cartridge manufacturers

In case any of your are reading....

Please include a cheap "dummy" very simple steel stylus with your next offering so it can be used to align the cartridge, rather than the original stylus, so that if any mistakes are made, the real stylus does not get destroyed.

Thanks

Actually I take MC back since they dont have replaceable styli.  This would be valid only for MM.

Yep..... It would have been a great idea to have a dummy around.

My problem was not during installing the cartridge, it was during aligning it. It was at the stage where you have the place the stylus onto a pin hole in the protractor and then arrange the straightness. If there was a dummy stylus to do that, it would have been much easier and not cause costly mistakes.
