[QUOTE="fredeb, post: 1135539, member: 13623"] Hi [USER=26293]@Dorol[/USER] , I have a couple of Ortofon F** styli . Conical and Elliptical stylus profiles made in Switzerland . It seems to me too , that is what it is , to be sure - take the following steps : 1. Remove the headshell from the arm , and drop the stylus guard , so as to protect the stylus . (good practice as there may still be a little life left in the old one as backup) 2. Hold the headshell upside-down ( so you can se properly what you're doing ) . Hold the cartridge body between 2 fingers of one hand , the black plastic and guard between 2 fingers of your other hand and gently pull in opposite directions . Be careful , it may feel like it doesn't want to budge and then suddenly , once enough pressure is applied , it releases and your hands fly apart . So try pulling with your fingers , not your arms ;) Once apart , take a pic so that we can see the plastic shaft protruding out the back of the stylus and the upside-down headshell so that we can see the 2 holes in the cartridge body . FF and VMS styli [ATTACH type="full" alt="FF_VMS_02.jpg"]23051[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
