Thanks for that information on the stylus geometry.
re: tracking force; the cartridge database at VE suggests 1.5 to 2.5g. And that is different from the info sheet that came with my cartridge.
I agree that the suspension is likely hardened (elastomer). Even though I can see some response to its action, it is likely no longer within spec. Good grief, it must date back to the mid seventies.
Further, I'd really like to examine the stylus under a proper micro-scope. I suspect there will be evidence of wear. The casing of the stylus assembly indicates much handling and use.
I'll just need to find a suitable replacement stylus assembly......somewhere.
