dear chakster, ''the if-then'' assertions are not facts. Facts are
true statements or propositions. My suggestion was to remove
the whole cantilever/stylus from one AT and install in the other.
No need for philosophical disputes by my proposal which nearly
everyone can do by himself. I am surprised that you never try
at list to investigate the stylus construction by AT carts. There
are cheap samples while no academic education is needed to
perform this task. Your curiosity should be more worth than ,say,
$50 for an ''cheap'' AT sample. Those offered ''for parts'' can also
be used for this purpose. So the price is not an argument against.
So my argument is: see or look for yourself. After that you can
propose your own finding about ''fixing'' the suspension by
AT or 205 kinds. Even with tubed boron cantilevers which Vdh
as a capable business man had stored in his stock the question
how to connect this ''impressive'' cantilever to the tension wire
behind the cantilever is not clear, at least not to me.
By 205 one can see those small screws on the pipe behind which
function is the same as by MC carts. To center, tighten and
connect the tension wire with the cantilever. As you could see
at the end of the tube the tension wire is glued. There are no such
screws by AT kinds. So I have no idea how tension wire by AT
are fastened. As a big admirer of the new and old Grace carts
you should be even more motivated for this investigation because
those also use tension wire. J. Carr explained elsewhere in this
thread their function and advantage.
