Pickering, of course, was the consumer twin to Stanton Electronics which is still, I believe, situated on Long Island NY.
Anyone familiar with: Pickering
Hello,
I'm trying to get information on a Pickering "Fluxvalve" Pickup (cartridge/stylus)model: 350DS. This Cart/shell assembly came in a plastic clear top case with 2 built-in styli holders (for lack of a better term)one holding a .001 Diamond stylus the other a .0027 Sapphire stylus(G) and a third stylus which I believe to be Diamond also already in the cartridge. (Probably from the previous owner. I'm looking for any information regarding this "Pickup" kit. i.e. what type of turntable it was or can be used with and so forth. I know it was purchased on Sept 20th 1956 from Newark Electric Co. in Chicago, ILL., because I have a pristine receipt for the sale! The "Pickup"/ stylus case came in a blue/gray/white Pickering & Co. box.
So, if this jogs anyones memories of having or seeing one being used I'd appreciate any information about it you'd care to submit.
Thank you very much. I appreciate all of the priceless wisdom, opinions and knowledge I find here on AudiogoN daily.
