Wanted: stylus guard ... Something like the metal one on a Denon 102 - I know it's a long shot but anyone know where I can get hold of one? There were some available years ago on the Lenco forum but not any more, and some were done for the Midas cartridge bodies.

Anyway a pic .. something like this:

Hi Tom

The guard looks almost the same as the one on my at33ptg.

The Midas bodies and guards were made by David Wong in Hong Kong who was on the Lenco forum. I have an email from 3 years ago when he said that he usually charges $35 per guard but offered 4 for $100 inc. shipping.
I can pm you his contact details if interested.
These guards are also good on Micro Benz cartridges which come without any protection.

I'm sure I could make one out of this bit of springy scrap metal - came out of a cheap scart plug I think.
(Surely a simple U section would be good enough too, no need to shape it quite so much around the stylus)
