you should contact Agnew Analog.
they can fabricate a stylus holder for your cutting head to fit 320 stylus.

That way your not limited to the specific Ortofon shank.

That will not work!

The Ortofon Stylus is smaller than the Neumann, so it will be impossible to use a Neumann without modding the head…!
Also the Stereo channel seperation is relying heavily on the Stylus Geometrie etc.
Best is to source original shank Adapters (These were made in the past), or use original 329sh styli.

I may have a source, but not sure…

Lukas

Agnew Analog would also be my recommendation - I saw how they were making their Neumann adapters and I wouldn't be suprised if they can manufacture a custom part for you. I think they have the tools and the know-how.

So I want to buy and install 329 styluses from Shank, but I do not have a mounting collet for these styluses. So I'm looking for where to buy collets for 329 styluses.

...or ask somebody who used or is still using an ortofon stereo cutter, or maybe etec.dk as the only known service person for ortofon cutting equipment, or maybe apollo still has some from their stylus production...

Thanks to everyone for the advice. After the New Year I will be blessed with those to whom you are invited to turn for help. Maybe someone can help me. There is a person who has a stereo head Ortofon and he has a nice new collets, but unfortunately he does not sell them :(
If someone else has any suggestions, write.

Nice setup!

Thanks for recommending me, Jccc, symatic and socialroots. :D

Yes, I can machine precise holders/collets/shanks for a 329 diamond/ruby/sapphire.

I generally make custom shanks, adapters and modify stylus mounts for heads that nobody sells stylii for anymore.
Neumann MS-52H, Westrex 2B, etc.

Always happy to discuss such projects.
