I feel though that you showed me your favorite fishing hole. :^)I sure wish Jico produced Grace stylii.
I am currently removing the Ortofon cartridge from the Grace 707 headshell, so that I can clean out the putty that you can see in one of my pictures. Right now I am searching for a convenient tool to hold the round and slotted nuts that were used with the cartridge bolts. I know that I could just use small needle nose pliers or a hemostat, but I figured that a special tool must exist somewhere.
I also noticed that after I carefully tightened the headshell screw, the cartridge still has a tendency to move. I wonder if that is why I can detect some sort of glue where the headshell meets the chrome 707 arm tube.
I have also had a big setback. I put on my jeweler's glass and noticed a crack radiating out from the set screw, and that could explain why the headshell was moving from the start. There is also a repaired crack(glued) further around the headshell neck. I noticed that when I loosened the set screw way out, the un-repaired crack closes up. So, I am thinking of carefully tightening the set screw again to slightly open the crack and applying liquid Krazy Glue. I will then loosen the set screw and allow the crack to close tightly. My only fear is that the Crazy glue could descend down to the chrome arm tube and prevent any adjustment of the azimuth after the glue dries.

The crack most likely happened from someone over tightening it in the past. I feel your pain and wish you the best of luck with the repair.

easily penetrated the crack. After letting it sit for a few hours, I tightened the set screw, and the crack did not open up. Now back to cleaning out the headshell.
