ymmv,

Thanks, Doug. I wasn’t aware that’s the case. I’ll look into it a bit more. There must be an Apple iOS compatible app that will allow me to convert individual or small groups of my jpeg files to jpg or the other allowable formats here.

I’m able to reduce the pic file size to medium and that’s within this forum’s 600 kB limit per pic. I don’t want to get into converting my jpegs into an allowable format here each time I want to post pics. It’s probably a lot easier than I’m making it out to be, but that’s my understanding of it. If someone wants to pm me their email address and post two pics for me, pls go ahead and do that.
I did find Steve Leung and the VAS website.

If you want to send it by phone, I'll PM you my cell phone number. I've actually glued cartridge bodies back together with some success.

Thanks, Scott. I’m sending a pm.
S Clark:
I sent a reply by text message. Sure looks like it was glued and it came loose, so I'd bet it's an easy fix. Is the stylus still good? I'm not that familiar with the Ultra 500, but a quick look around indicates it was a pretty decent cartridge, and worth a good stylus.
Nick B:
Scott pointed out to me that one of the mounting screws protruded past the cartridge body and could have separated the body from the mounting piece. Should be an easy fix...if I’m careful enough.
I went on the Shure site earlier today and there was a particular replacement stylus for the discontinued Ultra 500... a VN5MR iirc. I looked into this a few years ago, but forgot the particulars.

Thanks, Doug. I just bookmarked it. Can’t say that I’ve seen a description quite like this before as to how fragile a cantilever is.
