Pickering v15 Series 4 Mystery

This is a near bottom of the line Pickering that came installed on many BSR and Garrard record changers. Tracked at about 2 grams. I think you could buy one in the early 70's for something like $15.00. 
Sounds good doesn't it? Pickering/Stanton made excellent sounding cartridges. I still have a few that I just can't part with. The XVS 3000 was outstanding and expensive. 
Honestly, all Pickerings sound good, and I do mean all of them. 
Most any VI5 stylus should fit. They are still available. Order a new one for pocket change and enjoy your vintage cartridge.

cleeds,
V15 moniker I believe referred to the then prefer stylus angle.  Both Shure and Pickering used this.

Absolutely!  The Pickering XVS 3000 is one of the most impressive cartridges I've ever heard.  Pull out some old reviews, everyone loved it and with good reason.  They are worth searching out even today.  Very dynamic and detailed.  A truly powerful, silky smooth sounding cartridge.
Nearly impossible to miss-track as well.

Schubert, 

As with any old cartridge fitting a new stylus assembly is a must. 
ADC and Sonus!  Liked them both very much. 

I still have several vintages cartridges that I will swap in when the mood strikes. My two all time favorites are the Denon 103R and the Nagaoka MP11 Boron.  I play them the most, leaning towards the Nagaoka. 

I purchase a totl Audio Technica AT12s NOS recently.  I'm sure the stylus suspension is gone. I'll have to order one and see what it sounds like.
