Oh, I thought that was your new pick-up line!

Hmmm- specialty stuff now, and many (maybe most) upper-end carts have a fixed stylus, so it can't be removed by the user. I might be wrong but it's similar to why there are so few hi-fi repair shops any more at all.

Tried it, but "balance my tonearm baby" worked better.

Which I managed to read as "balance on my tonearm". Must have been thinking of that ad, you know the one...

No? Clicky here.

You know Struts, linking to porn may get you banned

I appeal! My link is humor. Porn is intended to titilate. Your link was pure porn. Hardcore in fact!

There used to be a small chain of shops in Wash. DC area called Needle in a Haystack. They specialized, narrowly, in phono cartridges and replacement styli. I would routinely bring in my removable stylus and they would inspect its condition through their microscope (and let the customer look too). Made it clear if the stylus needed replacement.
Why doesn't that service exist anymore? Or does it??

For the same reason when you go to the grocery store you no longer see the test tube display and related stock.

Actually, Bill you can purchase or possibly borrow a USB digital microscope and hook it up to your computer. With a decent light source, you can look at your stylus quite easily.
