Correct replacement stylus for Empire 3000MKIII

Does anyone know the correct replacement stylus for the Empire 3000MKIII cartridge? I have done countless hours of research and there is more misinformation that information about this model. I purchased it on Ebay and it was listed as a 2000 so I ordered a replacement srylus for the 2000 but when I received the cartridge it turned out to be the 3000MKIII and the replacement I bought (4237-DEC) by Phanstiehl was not correct. The tube that inserts into the cartridge is too wide.

I have emailed several sellers of replacement styli and so far have not found the correct replacement. The cartridge only cost me $26 so I figured for under $50 bucks I could try a decent cartridge while my Dynavector DV23R is being rebuilt. There were a couple of links stating the stylus from the TOTL Empire 4000 series would fit, however they sell upwards of $170 and for that money I can buy a good used modern day MC.

Anu help is appreciated.
