I have an ADC XLM 100 cartridge - Will all XLM stylus fit this cartridge?

I have an ADC XLM 100 cartridge (as identified by the markings on a damaged stylus mounted on it). The cartridge itself is gold colored, Where does this cartridge fit in the ADC XLM line? Do all XLM stylus fit this cartridge or must I find a stylus specifically made for the XLM 100? I see lots of stylus for the MK I, II and III but am having a difficult time to find one reasonably priced that will fit this cartridge and work relatively well.

Have no info/pix of an XLM 100 (although there exists an LXM 100). Any chance of some good closeup photos of the cartridge and stylus? We may need you to take an ohmmeter reading off the terminal pins on the back, depending.

At least I can answer the question generally: While all XLM styli will fit any XLM cartridge and make sound, they will not always perform as they were engineered to do, though they often will.
Also, no, there was no such thing as a unique ADC cartridge body that will fit/work with only one specific stylus.
