Stylus Wear Question

@stringreen 
Have you thought about contacting the cartridge manufacturer?
A manufacturer that values customer service should be willing to tell you how much wear has accumulated on a stylus, and readjust the suspension if the cantilever shows signs of skewing or sagging.

Thanks to both of you....Its an Ortofon Winfield.   When I checked Ortofon's website, it seems that they only have an offer to buy the old one toward a new model.   I'll look further to see if they can take a critical look at it.....thanks again.

I noticed my local jeweler has a nicer stereo microscope than the 200x Stereo Wild Heerbrugg I have access to. Excellent lighting too! Just a thought . . .

What about Soundsmith?
