I have a TD-145 with the original tone arm in which cartridges mount from the bottom. The current AT cartridge has spacers to accommodate the longer screws. Will a new Grado cartridge come with short enough screws to be able to mount correctly?

    From my recollection of the std. Thorens arms of that era mounting a new cartridge often resulted in a screw hunt…I can’t recall mounting a Grado but I know Ortofon required new screws….
