Sorry for the intrusion, but this may interest some of the denizens of
rec.audio:

I've just put on eBay a CBS Laboratories STR 130 RIAA Test Record.

It can be accessed as Item # 280316380901.

Because of the special nature of the item, I've given it a ten-day
listing.

This may be your last chance to get such a disc; if you need it, good
luck.

There are plenty of vinyl newsgroups out there - post to some of those
too.

If its a good deal, go for it. Test records are not terribly uncommon on
eBay. I obtained about a half dozen during a few weeks of watching, none for
more than about $10.

I also have several different test records but none of them addresses
testing frequency response for RIAA compliance. They are quite useful for
other testing aspects though.

Many of the better oldies from "the days of" , like the CBS STR series, are
still very good by modern standards.

Most people seem to have bought test records and then never used them, as
most of the ones I got from eBay were pristene.

In contrast, a modern test record like the HFN LP run about $50 or more.

Were any of them any good? It only takes one play with a Pickering to wreck
the square wave tracks.

What if I might ask makes the Pickering apparently worse in this regard
than other pickups?
