DL103: broken cantilever

Posted on January 18th, 2008 by admin

It was bent already, from a mishap a few months ago. But after realignment it was still working well. So this week I went to perform some mods - denuding, and possibly the ‘Uwe clone’ wood body. But I didn’t get far. I was able to denude the cartridge pretty easily; which left it looking like a Lyra with a very bent looking cantilever. So I got greedy and tried to bend it back ever so gently. I heard (or felt) a tiny ‘pop’ and thought, “uh oh…”. It looked ok still - to the naked eye - but sure enough, after a bit more handling, it just snapped right off.

Sometimes vinyl is just one frustration after another.

Live and learn…..
