A Question about the AR XA turntable.

I just bought an Acoustic Research XA Turntable on ebay to fix for my own
personal use. The turntable is missing the headshell and the stylus. I
have
been told that AR TT's use an exclusive headshell that cannot be replaced
with other brands. This means that I will have to either find an AR
headsheall or change the tonearm. Does anyone have advice on changing the
tonearm on this table? Or does anyone know where I can obtain a headshell
that will fit on the AR tonearm?
Changing the tonearm on this turntable is a good idea because the standard
tone arm was the worst part of the whole turntable.
One caveat is that the original tone arm had a relatively low profile and
tone arm upgrades are like to obsolete the existing cover.
