Can I ask what stylus shape you have on your AT VM540? Thanks ...
Removing stylus from Shure V15 Type III
I have an old Shure V15 cartridge and have just ordered a Jico SAS boron cantilever stylus replacement.
I am guessing the original stylus has not been removed over the last forty years. My question is about how much force can be applied to get the old stylus out, and exactly which direction to pull in!
So far I have been gentle and unsuccessful

The slow boat from Japan turned out to be a plane. My Jico stylus arrived just a week after ordering, but I am not sure it is the one I ordered. The order clearly states JICO 192-VN35E (SAS/B) but the packaging just says NUDE 192-VN35E and the inner cardboard sleeve says ND not SAS/B. The seller says his supplier is certain it is correct. Any idea how to check further? I have not removed the stylus from its bubble-wrap. I am protected by PayPal ... |
Did you see this. Looks like you could look at it and tell with a hand lens.

Thanks, that has been really helpful! Looks to me as if the NUDE styli are available in three variations: NUDE Conical, NUDE Elliptical, and NUDE Mono. I am guessing the NUDE mono is for playing 78s and the other rwo have round and elliptical cross sections. If so, they are quite different from the SAS shape, and are not what I ordered. Emails will be going to Japan! |
