Thanks for the replies. I measured the tracking force using a Proster scale that I bought. It came with a 5 gram calibration weight, which does register 5 grams on the scale. Short of obtaining multiple scales, I can’t think of a way to further validate the accuracy of the measurement.
The stylus looks okay from what I can tell and it does make sound when touched (very gently of course). Are there any other ways to check the integrity of the stylus?
I was thinking that I might increase the tracking force in small (say .25 gram) increments and see if a little more force would fix the problem. At what point do I risk damaging the stylus? (I’ll use some vinyl that I don’t care about).
Thanks again for the feedback.
Regards,
Tom
