Does Anyone Have Info On Azden GM-P5L Cartridge?

I found an old Azden GM-P5L Low Output Moving Coil cartridge that I have had for probably 15 years. I opened it up and the frequency spec sheet that came with the cartridge measures the output at .18mv. Tracking force at 1.25 grams. As I remember this was a very good sounding cartridge. I would love to mount it on my Graham Phantom 2 tonearm just to see how it sounds. I don't seem to have the mounting screws anymore. I tried some spare mounting screws from my Soundsmith cartridge, but they are too wide.

Did anyone out there ever own this cartridge? How do you remember it sounding? Do you have any idea what size mounting screws it uses? I did a internet search but did not find much on this model of Azden cartridge.

Dear Slowhand: I never heard it but in 1985 was the Azden top of the line LOMC cartridge, price was 250.00 in that time.

Its characteristics could tell us that is a good cartridge ( how good I can't say, maybe Mosin is right about. ): band frequency 10-60K and separation at 1khz is 30db.

Now, you already have it so test it.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.
