Please help identify this cartridge

This cart is affixed to a Sansui FR-3060 turntable. I believe it’s the original cartridge that came with the table. If I take it off, will there be a number or other identification on top of the cartridge? Thanks!

Thanks for the stylus information, does your link mean it’s an SV-36 cartridge?

That was the stock cartridge on that model according to Vinyl Engine. That might be indicated on the top of it, though not necessarily. There also might be a sticker somewhere on the turntable with that information.

That doesn't guarantee it hasn't been changed of course sometime in the last 40 or 50 years but it looks correct.

The sticker only lists the number of the replacement stylus. I certainly can remove the cartridge, but the table doesn’t belong to me, and I’d rather not mess with it since it works and sounds great. Thanks again.

Correct. Working backwards from the stylus # gets you to the cartridge. That looks to be correct to my eye.
