Help identifying a 20+ year old cartridge

[Cwatters0]

My turntable is out of storage (20 years) and I’m trying to set it up properly. I’ve searched around the internet for images of the cartridge but all the micro Benz cartridges I’ve seen have SL or other letters on them. This one does not have any. Does anyone recognize this one? What model is it? Thanks

Looks like a Benz Micro Glider.

It’s most probably before the “S” version Glider with low output.

Thanks everyone. Should have mentioned I understood it to be MM. used with an audible illusions preamp but not the Curl version

I’m using a Benz glider high output with an AI preamp also. It loads at 1K ohms and it I’m running it through a Fosgate signature phono tube amp. Use the MC setting even though it’s a high output cart, sounds better than MM setting. I believe Benz says to load it that way. Decent cart I think personally.
