Info on Audio Technica PB12S cartridge?

[LowTech]

I haven't been able to find any info/specs on Audio Technica PB12S cartridge. It came on a Technics SL-Q2 turntable and is in need f a new stylus. Is this a decent cartridge? Does anyone have any specs on it? Thanks

It's a variation of the AT12S, which apparently takes a Shibata stylus, though you can probably find a cheaper replacement than an original one. If you do a search on that one, you should be able to find information that is relevant. Certainly, it is a decent cartridge, as long as it has balanced resistance as measured by a DMM. The stylus will influence the quality of the sound.
