Replacing Columbia Floating Stylus

[Victrolacollector]

What is your preferred way of mounting a 2 minute Columbia floating stylus? (wax, shellac?)

[Dave D]

I believe stick shellac was used originally, but I would be tempted to try gel type crazy glue now.

I get a small flake of shellac, put in in the stylus hole, then melt it with a soldering iron and insert the sapphire. This is REVERSIBLE if the sapphire needs to be serviced in the future, and the method the sapphires were originally mounted.

[Dave D]

You are right. Reversibility is important. Crazy glue would be reversible, but not as easily as shellac.
