Does anyone recognize this cartridge?

Need help identifying this cartridge. Is came of a dual ULM headshell, hence the top mounting bracket. Can anyone tell me who made it or anything about it. There is no serial or model number on it. Thanks in advance.

Audio Technica. The model should be on the top of the cartridge.

Cheers,

Hi,

It is most probably one Audio Technica AT-5625 AL. I had one of those for a market price around $30.00. Nice, with lots of room for improvement.
At least, it is free from treble emphasis, a virtue in my book.
Regards,

I think we call the same model the AT91 over in Britain..

Yup, that's an AT91 - at least if it's got the black carbon fibre cantilever. Not really a good choice for a Dual with ULM arm, though - i.e. although the halfinch-mount adaptor and cartridge weight add a good bit of effective mass, that type of ATs nevertheless just are moderately compliant, while high to very high compliance would be more suitable.
