What Stylus Is This?

Anybody recognize the brand of this stylus? It's on my dad's Dual 1246 with an AT-450 cartridge. thanks!

It is an Audio Technica AT92 (or one of its many many clones!) - AT has sold it under so many different names it is impossible to keep track of - they also OEM'd it to many other manufacturers, as such it can also be found as a technics or Akai or ....

The stylus looks a lot like one I have on a body like this labelled "Pioneer" (I will have to go back and dig through my boxes to check).

But I wouldn't worry about it - go to LPGear or Turntable needles and search for needle options to fit your AT92 and you will be good to go....

All T4p cartridges track at 1.25g VTF and are designed for low mass arms - so if what you are looking for is the correct settings for this needle - that's it!
