The links to my stylus pictures did not work. Anybody know how to cut and paste a Photograph? I have seen it done.    
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
@mulveling  I had the stylus disappear from the cantilever of a Clearaudio Charisma. I took a microphotograph off the cantilever and emailed it to Musical Surroundings. I had a brand new cartridge and a shipping label for the old one in four days...

@gregdude  No, I buy too much stuff and I am 70 years old giving me a lot of time to buy too much stuff.  @rauliruegas  I have not heard the MSL mistrack at 2 gram VTF. I have not run it on a test record yet either. I will when I get it set up ... 
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
@lewm  A mans got to know his limits:-) @ghdprentice  I have been taking things apart since I was four years old. One of my mother's favorite stories was about me taking apart a broken electric can opener fixing it and putting back together. Sh... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
@rauliruegas  I will get that right out. Thanx!  
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum
Thank you all for responding. @lewm, real simple, a microscope. microtweezers (I used them to pull out splinters) and a Weller soldering station with the smallest tip on. The back plate is held on by one screw. I can inspect the solder joints and... 
A Story about a Defective Signature Platinum

The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
@lewm , I totally agree with your hobby argument. I also think I continue with vinyl because it is so imbedded in my head. One of the happiest events in my childhood was getting a new record. As a teen I would spend hours in record stores flipping...

@rauliruegas , That is great Raul. Can you send me pictures?  I'll send you pics of my new subwoofers!   
Dr. Feickert Analogue Woodpecker turntable
@panzrwagn , @ghdprentice  I hate to spoil the party, but a seismograph is exactly what you do not want your turntable to be. It is a vibration measuring device that is supposed to be isolated from the environment. Turntables that are not adequat...

@wizzzard  I would love to hear your overall impression of ultrasonic record cleaning🤔  
The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
@ljgerens , given the price of phonograph cartridges and the space requirements of a large collection, I can fully understand that approach. All my CDs have also been ripped to a hard drive and sold. Most of my purchases are downloaded in Hi Res. ... 
The "Very Best Record Cleaning Formulation"
@wizzzard , I was suddenly blocked from posting because Audiogon's computer could not validate my address. My street sign says Spickett Valley drive. The registry has it as Spicket Valley Dr. There was a back and forth before I finally got it clea...
