Lost Stylus Guard for Ortofon A95

[BayStBroker]

So yeah, I lost the plastic stylus guard for my cartridge and now I have to move house. Any advice on what you'd do? I'm hoping there is a universal stylus guard of some sort that I can buy. Ortofon does not seem to make replacements available

unlikely to find a universal stylus guard that would work for an A95.....but I have 2 suggestions;

buy a cheap headshell and then fashion some sort of protection inside a small box.

or buy a cheap cartridge ($50-$75) and mount the A95 inside that box, like a Hermit Crab taking over an abandoned shell. the cheap cartridge likely has it's own stylus guard anyway.
