replacement cartridge for Denon DP 45-F

I just bought the Denon DP 45-F turntable with the tonearm and head for $50. It seems to work OK, but I want to find a relatively inexpensive cartridge and stylus, as this turntable will be used for my older records which have more scratches. Is a "P" mount suitable at all? Any suggestions, Thank you all, Alan PS also want to get a better match for my Technics SL 1300 MK2, any suggestions for cartidge and stylus?

I sold my DP45F to my brother last year. I included a Shure V15 MkIV cartridge, which sounded very good with it. Before selling, I tried my new Benz L2, only to find that it simply didn't work. The VTA was wrong, giving poor spectral balance (cartridge body too high).

So, I know a Shure V15 will work. You have to be careful on tables that don't have VTA adjustment.
