The damage is pretty bad. I can easily tell the the cantilever is bent down and to the right when looking at it. Can I bend it back into place (I'm guessing no)? Can I get the cartridge repaired anywhere quickly? The cartridge is a Denon DL 103r.If you're curious as to how I did it, I was attempting to turn on my Ariston RD11s, which has the power switch on the lower right hand side. I took my eye off the ball, and my finger hit the cantilever.
