Bent the stylus on my Elyse 2 cartridge


Hi everyone.
While cleaning the base of my Rega P3, evidently I bumped the stylus. I thought I was being careful. Anyway I put on a record and there was an obvious problem. Examining the cartridge, the stylus was pointing straight down. My only option was to push it back in place. It may (or may not) now have bit more angle to it then photos on web. I played a test album and it sounds absolutely fine. 

Thoughts? Is there a chance it will damage my records. The stylus is not replaceable on Rega cartridges and I living in Bulgaria gives me limited options to easily exchange or replace.

I'd be curious about upgrade recommendations for under $300. The Elyse 2 as mixed reviews but I have been happy with it.

Thanks in advance.

If your cantilever is made from aluminum (or aluminum alloy)
any repair service shoud be able to strigthen and adjust your
cantilever/stylus combo. Those who have never done this
should not give advice.
Bulagaria is part of E.Union so if you want to buy whatever in UK
you should be very fast (grin).
