This has been in the house at least 25 years. When you turn the handle, it "slips," meaning the handle will turn but not necessarily turn the water on or off. The feeling is like when you have a geared mechanism with worn gears that don't always engage.
You have to push the handle in really hard (directly toward the wall) to get it to engage, and even then it is sort of intermittent; it was a real effort to get the water shut off. I don't know how long it as been that way since it was my son's bath and he never said anything (!@$*).
Does the body of knowledge indicate that it sounds like "just" a cartridge problem?
I don't have a model number but it is this type: https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/...4wDKms7D_-3SywkZ46nyGcrm9Q8IKafS5P-zBeyOseKm1
