RE: Macro Photos of My Stylus and Cantilever: Damaged?

I suspect the others are correct that the stylus is still okay, but you should probably look at it from the front at higher magnification to see if there is significant V-shaped wear. Also look straight down at the tip with side lighting to see if flat spots are visible. I suspect that 48-hours in a spinning groove would not have caused a problem, but you never know until you view it at the correct angles.

Here are some pictures of a stylus that is too worn to continue playing LPs without causing groove damage.
