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.

Gabbro thanks for the info getting inside the table.I will be wanting to check this cartridge out further as what I heard sounds promising,another project.
Many thanks for the info.Would you believe this was going to be thrownout.I wanted to put a bid on it,tried it but it wouldn't stay running,when to pick a couple records I won at auction and they asked if I wanted it before they throw it out.I would like to try that cartridge on a better table.Got it home and found it needs a record on platter to run.
Thanks Gabbro,how do you like the SMMC1?What do you think about the RX2 table.I have 11 tables and got my dual 1229 and 1219's running again at least on 33.I'm thinking of putting that $50. audiotechnica on one.I put one on my friends rotel and was quite surprised.Am I going to be able to open up the RX2 to replace the belt easily?Next project is getting my mint condition dual 1019 to keep from one channel fading out,all auto functions work,I like the fat 45 spindle dropping 45's.
Thanks Siniy123 and Clio09,but what does NOS mean,I'm not quite sure,you mean original.I would like to get that adapter and hear what it sounds like on a better table but I'm taking my clearaudio off my rega.
