Take it off the headshell - all you need to do when you put it back is
to make sure it is straight. It is - realistically - unlikely that it
has been professionally 'aligned' anyway. Make a mark on the underside
of the headshell with a sharp instrument - just a line along the front
edge of the cartridge body.

DO NOT work on appearances as shown on the web site. Many look alike
but are not compatible.

If the stylus (NOT 'needle') is dirty, clean it with a little meths or
isopropal alcohol on a cotton bud or similar. Just drag it from back
to front on the stylus arm with the very lightest pressure.

Also make sure the tracking weight is right - 2grms is a good start
point.

Thanks, I have put up some more photo's of needle and cartridge to show
condition, does the needle not suppose to extend from the back of the yellow
housing?
