Anyone know what cartridge this is? A friend found it in his collection and I haven't been able to find anything about it. Thanks!

I googled "generic replacement AT 3600 cartridge stylus" and found this on AliExpress.

Looks like an AT-3600 with an aftermarket stylus. I'm ALMOST sure an official Audio Technica 3600 conical stylus should work.

  It's possible, even likely, that the stylus on the cart pictured is made by AT despite the funky logo.
  There are conicals, ellipticals, and hyper-ellipticals available for the A3600-series. Might even be an ML lurking around somewhere.

I posted another view for those who are interested.

  ...Audio Technica, some permutation of the AT 2600.
  The Rega Carbon is an AT 3600; so is one of Music Hall's pre-mounted carts.
