Hi,
Unless your Little Wonder records are near mint condition I think this
is an exercise in futility. Most of these small records are not in the best
shape because they were used a lot by children and stylus used won't matter
too much. I think you Stanton cartridge may not have enough tracking force
to play these very well. I would use a Victor exhibition reproducer with
good gaskets and steel needles. Just change the needles frequently.
