Put the AT12XE stylus on that, and forget about the 2M red.thanks all, it is strange that they put the lable under the headshell. As it turns out, its an AT433E. Anyone familiar with that? worth keeping or swapping out completely... I had my eyes eventually upgrading to a 2m red. I liked the looks of that Shure m97xE but apparently they stopped making carts.
I would submit that the 2M Red is no upgrade over that AT. Get the stylus Marc recommended and you'll be pleased.
I guess the question is, i can buy an ATn12xe for $80 and track at 2g,
or $100 for a 2m Red and track at 3g... Is that nonsense?
Again, this forum has been so amazing, I'm so grateful for you all! I've been doing some snooping, there is little info on the 433, but it sure does look a lot like a AT12, so I have faith that you guys are right. As Gretsch6120 said, it has a tracking force of 2g. I was hoping to hit closer to 3g for some of my older records and also because we tend to dance lol. I guess you guys all recommend at first glance to keep the cart and just put a fresh needle on it...

Looks like a lady cart to me. Mildred.It appears to be 'vintage' (the nice term for 'old') therefore, I'd name it Mortimer. Or maybe Opie.
How about Matilda? No, that only works for waltz's. Never mind.Looks like a lady cart to me. Mildred.
