Hi Alaska, Although I have not installed it yet I have a Shure M97xE cartridge to install. It has a small brush installed in the front. In case you drop the arm the brush device takes the force of the drop instead of the stylus arm. The brush does not make surface contact while playing.
There is some rubber washer on top of the tone arm post that acts with that pin that is recommended to remove that plays into the dropped tonearm scenario. I can't remember without checking but I think that is to be removed when the pin is.
My original motor was making a racket. Wayner ,who works at Van AlStines said put a few drops of 3 and 1 oil on the shaft where the pulley goes on. After a few spins it's been dead silent. Keep those pictures coming....thanks Mark K.

Only if you lock it in the up position.
Hi Spotcheck, I have not installed the Shure yet but it looks like the brush in the up position will hit the record surface before the stylus arm gets too jammed up. I'm probably wrong but I will check that because I read it somewhere....Good Eye! Spot Check......Mark K.
...that last particle of dust that you mat have missed with the "dust bug".
Later Gator,
Dave
