Shure V15 Type 3 vs. Shure V15 III LM or V15III DU...

Same "motor" inside, but the lightweight LM "low mass" or DU "Dual" versions are plasticized and still much cheaper. The LM is still a bargain. I have seen "converted" LM and DU versions, unglued from their cartridge carrying headshells, made to fit standard headshells. The blocks that position these plasticized V15s can be drilled/bored for certain self-tapping screws or machine screws, if done with care. Aftermarket styli are also cheap and worthy of a listen...

Don't forget the later V15-HE or V15-MR versions with their fragile Hyper-Elliptical and Micro-Ridge styli. These, in fine shape, are quite deluxe versions. These styli, NOS, are approaching $150. each...the MR recognizeable by the red lettering &/or red plastc stylus guard. For many, these carts are still top of the line...
