Type 1501 Stylus Shank Adapter gets a Flat!

Up to now, customers would just install the adapter and leave it there, only occasionally replacing the stylus. One customer, however, wanted to be able to leave the stylii aligned in the adapter, and change them out without needing to realign.

For this, the adapter would need to have a flat. Since all our products are handcrafted, this was something we could easily do:
