Yes, the original cartridge is held in place by two screws, and is very common in prewar phonographs as well as some early postwar units. I do not know the number of the original cartridge.

If one of your other phonographs has a known good cartridge, you could borrow it to install temporarily in your RP2 to see how it is doing.

Without a record playing, your RP2 should still broadcast a signal with no modulation when it is on. "Dead carrier" is the usual term used in this case.
