RIP indeed. We should honor him. I didn't know the old gent was still alive. ...that is 'til now that he isn't. Ironic. Article says he never thought his cartridge designs would be sold to the consumer market, only to the much smaller broadcast market. Another irony.
This reminds me I have a Pickering UV-15 D 2000-Q. Originally designed for playing quadraphonic records, it has a Quadrahedral stylus. I think this translates exactly to "Shibata", which was a commonly used diamond stylus shape for playing quad records. Also, I suspect that the "Stereohedron" name also translates to "Shibata".
This cartridge seems to have suffered a hardened elastomer donut and probably needs to have its stylus assembly replaced (most economical option). although I am intrigued by the shape of the cantilever. It looks high quality.
'Reminds me; I don't have a photo of this cartridge. I need to get some shots of it up in my cartridge gallery page.
