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.

I think the V15 series of cartridges was made by Shure, not Pickering.

Nope, Shure top model was a V15 , I assumed Stanton used V15 to ride of the known name on their low products which did sound good.

Norman, my two fave carts of all time were the XVS 3000 and the Empire RD-9 . Nobody not there in the day believes they were better than current
2-3 K carts but they were .

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

schubert!

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.
