This is not evidence by any standard but just a theory that happens to fit the facts. The only thing I could figure out that was happening to all these stylii where they would end up deflected out towards the beginning of the LP is that someone did in fact leave these stylii sitting in the lead out groove for extended periods of time.
That would end up putting some pressure on the stylus suspension and potentially end up with all those stylii deflected that way.
It was the only thing I could figure that explained the large number of stylii photos I was looking at (1000s of photos) with the problem.
If anyone else can some up with a theory that fits the evidence I'll bite.
