Hey AK!
I recently acquired a Pickering "V15/950ee" stylus used but with a pretty good looking stylus. Turns out that after install, alignment, and adjustment, it sounds like garbage and won't track at all! Just skates around despite having 1.5g, 2g, even 3g, on the arm. Anti skate was adjusted...

As luck would have it, today I was walking down my street and someone had put a box with a mediocre looking 80's pioneer turntable in it. Unable to resist almost any free stereo gear, I hauled it home, thinking maybe I could give it to a friend or someone interested in starting out with vinyl...
I'm pretty sure this stylus is damaged.. But I wanted to check as I've just got this and I have no idea, it came with a V15 Type III cartridge on a Pioneer headshell (PL-530 turntable)..
The stylus end just protrudes a little bit but it looks like cut out, right?
In any case which is a good non...
