just wandering. i went to replace a headshell on an old backup cartridge, and when i pulled it out the actual cartridge fell out the casing that is connected to the headshell. its the 44-7.weird. i guess i am just gonna superglue it back in, but i wanted to see if this has happened to anybody else.

    The title deserves at least a mini AYO.

    Yeah it happens when they get old. Super glue works fine to fix it.

    Not only that, when the cartridge body is not firmely attached, those micro-vibrations can fuck up your sound. Super glue is your friend.

    no clue, i replace the styluses frequently. These arent the only carts i use, these dont get used at home. More so at the radio station i work at and at gigs.

    They still seem to work fine, didnt plan on replacing the carts any time soon.
