RE: more close-up detail pics

In this photo I've gotten as close as my modest macro lens can get on something as small as a diamond stylus for playing a record. Beyond this, we need a microscope... (wouldn't that be nice)

Above we can clearly see the crimp in the metal tube that secures the suspension donut in place. Or so I presume.

In this last photo you should be able to see the suspension wire and it's solder joint at the end of the tube...as we peer into its back opening.

I don't know about you guys but to me this stylus assembly looks like it has been around the track more than once. How many hours would you guess? I'm thinking it has lots and lots of hours on it.
