Default Acos GP67-2G stereo compatible?

Hi all.
After reading a few old threads it is still unclear as to whether this mono cartridge is stereo compatible or not? I have looked at the cartridge's rubber stylus mount in depth (without opening up the cart) and it is able to move vertically as well as horizontally, when you push the stylus in at one end the other stylus at the opposite end is pushed out, the crystal is at 90 degrees to the vinyl when used and does not appear to be fixed at the front of the carts body as is the case with the BSR X3M/Hs. which enables vertical movement. or do I just change it to be on the safe side?
Any thoughts?
Cheers.
Gaz.

The GP67 is now around 60 years old is definitely NOT stereo compatible.

I have since looked at the cart again and held it up to daylight and can clearly see a front mounting, well that sorts that then.
Cheers.

If it's working OK with a good output, this may sell well or be used for use on Mono-only record players. The most suitable Acos Stereo-compatible, Mono cartridge, for single-stage record players is the later GP91-3SC.

Pretty sure I have a restored one somewhere? that's if he wants to go original with a non stereo compatible.
