Does anyone know this cartridge?

Hi,

I'm new here so I hope it's not considered rude to ask for help inmediately. I'm in the market for a '70s Linn LP12 and I have found one with this cartridge:

According to the seller it's an Audio Technica MC cartridge. But I can't seem to find this particular type on the net. Does anyone have an idea which one it is and is it any good?

Regards,

I have to say it looks like

I have to say it looks like an AT 120 which is not an MC cartridge. The image shows a removeable stylus which no AT MC cartridge has. The good news is you will not need a moving coil step-up transformer or a phono preamp with a MC section.
