Is this right?

[devoid]

The cantilever on this cartridge is bent way off from center but the the stylis tip appears to be properly aligned. It's an Audio Technican P mount cartridge number DR350 from a Technics SL-QD33 turntable. It tracks great so I'm really wondering what's going on here.

devoid,
It kinda looks like a stylus I once had after a poor sighted friend of mine
hit the side of the turntable with it. It still played but it messed up the
groves in one of the channels.

That is trash. Get a new stylus.

I agree with Don C, That's defanetly not right, scrap it.

I was able to bend it back though I know it will never be right. It's a decent DD table so I'll keep an eye out for a cheap replacement.

Here is the only replacement stylus that I could find on the web for your Digital Research (Audio Technica) DR350 cartridge:

Might be worth the small investment. By the way, I have bought from this site many times and they are excellent. :thmbsp:

Here is some info on your cartridge. You will find it about halfway down the page under "Digital Research":
