Cartridge/stylus Id

[Styx_II]

I picked up a Technics SL-1700 over the weekend and need help IDing the cartridge.....any ideas? Under the stylus it's has the #580.

Stanton 500 with the ugly gold paint removed just like mine. Dam cartridges scratch so easily so hence a need to get rid of the Gold paint. Great budget cartridge.

Oh one thing I forgot to mention be very careful with that plastic mounting piece that fits inside the headshell as they don't make those anymore. I had to make my own from a clear piece of plastic.
