Thanks for the suggestions. No thanks for all the bickering. Do that on your own threads please.

Perhaps I was too emphatic.  I would look for something that already exists around my house, a piece of curved plastic for example.  Or that cork would be fine once you've carved it up appropriately.  Then tape it over the stylus assembly using easily removable tape.  Of course, I still would not recommend this for every day use; only where there will be a prolonged period of storage or manipulation.

A distinction without a difference. Think noob. Think.

Who you crappin'?

I don’t think the Denon is going off to be rebuilt.  Read MC. Read.

Very creative cleeds. You can loop masking tape over the cantilever in successive layers. After ten layers or so it will become pretty stiff. 

I successfully made one for an old cartridge by using a knife to carve out a wine cork. Worked like a charm!

What lewm said. Especially since its going off for rebuild. If they come with a stylus guard, it should come back with a stylus guard- a real one not the one you cobbled and taped together.

Making a stylus guard is about as dangerous to the stylus as any other job that forces you to put the stylus in jeopardy.  I wouldn't do it at all.
