Can anyone identify this phono cartridge?
#2

Those cartridges are Pickering. They were made in Oceanside, Long Island, and were one of tjhe best pickups to be had.

The styli in them were non-replaceable, and had to be sent to the factory for replacement. It appears that you have one 3 mil head and possibly one 1 mil head. You shouldn't guess what you have.

Upon inspection, you might find that the sylus in each one is actually OK. I have a couple of Pickerings, but use them only on making tapes, or special playings. They are very good pickups.
