I will be replacing a Shure V15 Type III cartridge with a Shure N447 
cartridge in a few weeks time.  The new Shure cartridge comes with 3 
truncated elliptical stylii for playing 78s (2.5, 2.8 and 3.3 mils) in 
addition to the standard LP stylus.  I believe that alignment of the 
cartridge/stylus assembly to the tone arm (SME) is critical and that 
there are alignment tools for accomplishing this.  Can anyone on this 
list recommend someone in the southern California area who could do this 
for me?
