I need a better 'scope mount as I think the cantilever could be bent, but not shown here.

Yup, you have no stylus! That is just the bushing. Hopefully you didn't play too many records with the stylus in that condition. This also means that ONE of the records you played before you noticed the distortion has a stylus possibly embedded in it.
I strongly recommend that you visually check any albums you played and preferably clean them first - ideally ultrasonically.

  Well I let my 15-year old son play the last record (his first one) and he said the sound did not change while playing it (I cleaned, or showed him how to, the record each side). As soon as we put his new 2nd record on, it was clearly wrong immediately, so I aborted. I'm guessing the tip came off w/ the Last brush if that's what happened. Both of his albums are picture discs.
  
  I won't go too deep into this financially or time-wise as I rarely play vinyl anymore; my main source is a DENAFRIPS DAC.
  I have a Mapleshade vinyl steam cleaner which works great, but it's been a few years since I went through that hassle.
