Charlet Ergo

So I've been using this model of Charlet Ergo's for a year now, and it's time to replace the picks. Will the picks for the modern generation of Charlet tools fit this tool?

Quark Ergo's use the old style Quark picks.

The Quark Ergo is not the same as the Ergo. The new picks will bolt up to the Quark Ergo but will require the new spacers (included with the pick) and will have a large gap at the bottom inside of the pick. New style Quark, Nomic, and Ergo picks are relieved at the back where the Quark Ergo had teeth matching the inner shaft radius. The pick angles are different on the new picks as well.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
