FAQ: Everything you need to know before buying the Ortofon Screw/Brush/Screwdriver/Scale Kit

What is the mechanical stylus force gauge used for?

It measures the tracking force, meaning the pressure the stylus applies in the groove. Sticking to the value recommended by the cartridge manufacturer protects both your records and the stylus.

Which accessories make up this kit?

Four items: a flat screwdriver, two sets of standard cartridge screws, a cartridge brush and a mechanical stylus force gauge, all from Ortofon.

Can I install a cartridge from start to finish with this kit?

Yes. When fitting a new cartridge, the screwdriver and standard screws secure it to the tonearm, then the gauge lets you check the tracking force before the first play.

How do I keep the stylus clean with this kit?

The cartridge brush removes the dust that collects on the stylus. Use it regularly, sweeping from back to front. When the stylus reaches the end of its life, it can be replaced.
