[78-L] 1-mil stylus

[David Lennick]

Actually, the stylus that came from Expert is one I use very seldom, and whose 
fault the mounting is substandard isn't the question. I also don't like the 
output from this stylus (noisy, tracks less perfectly than an original Stanton 
2.1). I think I bought it from Kurt, a number of years ago, but it's a 2.0 mil 
and I'm looking for a 1.0 mil at the moment.
