There is a number on the side of the Astatic cartridge...89T. Perhaps that will help? The only other number is what appears to be a date...3-68.
Joe, I will definitely replace all of the big square "Micamolds" in the FM tuner, along with the electrolytics, before I even think about applying power to it. I replaced all of the square "Micamolds" that were actually paper caps in my Maggie's AM-SW tuner and the AMP-101 amplifier. The caps that were connected to the AC line were replaced with X-Y safety caps.

The cartridge Doug sent me is a different color than illustrated in the link above, but looks the same otherwise. The flip-under mount is identical.
