Hi,What Fred said is almost certainly incorrect for the very reason you state. The motor structure (i.e. the magnet or magnets) is almost certainly aligned with the cartridge body by design. No amount of tolerance stack will allow for a visually misaligned cantilever. I know I've never seen it in my 35 or so years playing with this stuff. If however, like you stated, the cantilever and motor assembly are incorrectly mounted in the body, then, yes, not too big a deal and in fact correctible but still VERY disturbing, No?
Yeah, I've seen lots of cartridges with misaligned cantilevers which I think resulted from (most likely) incorrect antiskate (way too much is very common). Never a NEW one, though. Any and all new cartridges with misaligned cantilevers need to go back. They are either 1) NOT new or 2) production rejects.
Cheers, Joe
