cartridge setup help

Was wondering if anyone near Las Vegas with cartridge setup experience? I purchased a used AT150MLX for my friend, but we can't seem to get a firm screw connection in the open channel. Would be willing to pay for help.

It's worth the drive to Pasadena, to have Brian Berdan at Audio Elements correctly install and perfectly align the cartridge.

I live in Henderson,  I use a AT150MLX and I have a bit of experience.  Email me at [email protected] and I'll shoot you my phone number.  Also I don't want your money, It's the season of giving!

The problem description is not clear. What do you mean with

''the screw connection in the open channel'' ? ''Open channel''

make no sense by whatever cart. There is left and right channel

by any stereo cart but not ''open channel''.

vegasears, thank you so much. I passed on your info to my friend. 
Nandric, I think i mean it is a non threaded cartridge body. If you look at a pic online it looks like an open channel for the screws. BTW, he was using a Clearaudio Virtuoso that I had purchased from you years ago. We were playing an old Elvis 45, and the needle went flying and snapped off the whole cantilever.

autjenof2, If I understand your description well one side of the

body misses the screw hole or provision to fasten this side

of the cart? With an ''hand bit'' you can drill in plastic body.

If I understand your second sentence well your friend damaged

''our'' Virtuoso (aka ''my former'' and ''your later'') ?

As a kind of compensation you can get an second Clearadio from

me for a ''friend price''. The name is ''Aurum classics'' with perfect

stylus.
