Below is a link to Vinylengine search page. It has pictures. If you click the name, it goes to a much larger picture. They look fairly different to me. It shouldn't be too hard to identify you cartridge.

You gotta be careful of meter quality. The coil wires in your cartridge are thinner than a hair, and a crappy multi-meter will blow the windings.
All my analog meters are F.E.T. driven for obvoius reasons. Any V15, except the very first,is a work of art that deserves to be handled with a bit of respect.
Did you mean to reply to John Elison? He is the one who suggested a meter. I use a multimeter all the time, but like you, I would be very reluctant to try it on a cartridge. My suggestion was to use the pictures at vinylengine to identify it. I have a V15 II, III and IV and I think it is pretty easy to tell the difference. I was not sure what to do with the II. What do you think of it. IMO the III was the best of the lot, but I'd love to hear a divergent opinion. I am not an expert on them. I just really like the Shure sound.

John Elison is a sharp guy, and a differewnce of opinion is what makes the world a more interesting place to be.
I have been using a Type III on and off for years. A great, flat cartridge. A few months ago, I purchased a Dual 1219 to eventually rebuild and flip for a profit, and this machine happened to come with a good Shure V15 Type II [not improved]. I really like the sound. Not completely neutral, with a nice bit of bass. A great effort from Shure, that still has a place in this new millenium.

That is another possibility. I don' know the condition of my IV's needle.

I started with the HE, then upgraded. Sacajawea!
