"The current model has an aluminum pipe and a shibata stylus."

That's the 150Sa which is a different model to the 150MLX.

I have original 150MLX styli and a new 150MLX which was made sometime after the 150ANV was released. The ATN150MLX stylus is the official replacement for the ANV.
Have a look at the instruction manual on the vinylengine for the ANV and look at the frequency response curve (and the spec) and compare to your original manual. The original 150MLX is quoted to extend to 30kHz. The new one (which I have) matches the curve for the ANV (with the sharp rise to peak at 18kHz) and the spec is only to 23kHz (matching the ANV). The VTF range for the ANV sets the nominal at 1.5g (1.3 to 1.8g). My 150MLX still quotes the original range from 0.75 to 1.75g but requires 1.5g to track up to 70um whereas the originals track 80um at 1.2g. I therefore conclude that my 150MLX was made post 150ANV with a stylus that could be used in the ANV to match the new specifications.
