Great that helps a lot and confirms my suspicion that the cartridge was very
old despite what the seller said, the needle looks ok though on eyeballing
it so maybe that's not so old.

This is definitely an Audio-Technica cartridge, with their unique
dual-magnet design. It appears to be an oem model -- sold to
manufacturers -- rather than one sold through dealers.

Hi, I bought a 2ndhand kenwood kd-55f turntable from a shop a couple of
weeks ago and was told by the guy that it had an audio technica needle,
I
knew almost nothing at the time but was sceptical but he assured me this
is
what it was but despite that I am now almost convinced it is not such a
thing as there are no markings on it of any kind and i am not even sure
that
the needle can be removed from the cartridge which would be a very bad
sign.
Anyhow if someone can confirm whether it is a audio technica and even
better
what exactly it is it would be greatly appreciated. The link to a photo
is
below.
