Default Ferguson 3020 cartridge

I have been given a Ferguson 3020 record player which looks in reasonably good condition apart from missing the cartridge. The deck is a Garrard 3000 and has only one central bolt to hold the cartridge on to the arm.
Can anyone tell me if I can get a replacement cartridge and stylus for this record player (and if it is worth it)?

Thanks in anticipation of any replies.

The Acos is no longer avaialable. You'll need a BSR SC11 or SC12. You have a nice player with a good autochanger, so well worth it. Note the correct wiring - Red, White, Green, Black connectors.

Thanks for the replies. I'll checkout the BSR cartridges.

BSR item availability should be good, here in Finland the local vintage repair guy had them in store and ordered the needed ones in a few days for my project.
