B+O MMC2 cartridge What line grade was it,any good


I just got a bang and olufsen beogram RX2 turntable with MMC2 cartridge from a rack about 80's vintage.How can I tell if it's original cartridge and what quality in their line is it?I listened to it and it sounds like it has potential but is struggling on that table.How do I remove it from that arm?Will it only fit that arm?Compared to my clearaudio Virtuoso wood it leaves a lot to be desired but I can hear it wants to break into 3d sound.

The MMC-2 is an excellent cartridge. I have one mounted on an SME Series III tonearm that I use with my Galibier Design Serac turntable. I purchased the acrylic adapter from Soundsmith so I can use the cartridge on non-B&O tonearms.

This particular cartridge was purchased as an upgrade for my B&O RX2 turntable that I purchased back in the late 80's. The cartridge ended up sitting in the box unused for over 20 years. I finally broke it out and couldn't believe how good it sounds. I also bought a B&O 8002 table that came with an MMC-2. I had the table restored by Soundmith. Incredible table for the money.
