JVC MC1 Moving Coil Cartridge - Heritage?


I have one of these cartridges that I used for about 2 years(1980 - 1982). It has been stored since 1982. Does anyone know the history(design heritage(if any), how it was reviewed, good/bad qualities, value, etc.) of this cartridge? I believe it was a bit of a cult item when it was in production.

I have zero respect for JVC after a horrendous experience with one of their products that never worked properly despite four trips to their repair depot. At that point, in complete frustration, I threw it in the trash bin and never looked back. 
Chalker if you must know, it was a car stereo. The reputation “Junk Very Cheap” was certainly deserved by JVC. The replacement Alpine deck served tremendously well, and was transferred to my next car.
