My experience cleaning a Stylus

[Slawts]

I had my Benz Wood SL retipped years ago and it was returned with some of that blue putty which I used frequently. Unfortunately after a little over a year the tip fell off. It may be in the putty.

That carbon brush idea sounds good so will try it as the static drives me mad.

ESCo (if it was them) only use glue, to my knowledge. However, Benz themselves only use glue. Twice; once for aligning and secondly for fixing. A glued stylus is less robust than a crimped or socketed one.

I just give mine a little flick with my finger, knocks stuff right off....
