78 RPM Stylus for Pickering V15 SOLID PERFORMER
This replacement stylus for the Pickering V-series and XV-series magnetic cartridges is a definite solid performer. It installs into the cartridge with ease and the performance in playing back 78 RPM records is flawless. You should adjust your tracking force upward to about 3 grams (I generally track 78 RPM records at 3.5 grams) for good playback fidelity, and to minimize skips.
You should make sure to keep your records clean, and to clean them prior to playing, as any dust and dirt in the record groove will foul the stylus, and then you will have to clean the stylus. I use a simple microfiber cloth with distilled water in a spray bottle for record cleaning, and I use a Q-Tip moistened with denatured alcohol for the stylus cleaning.
