OK to play 78s with elliptical stylus?

Hi, I just bought an old, used Dual 1209 tt so that I can finally play 78s, but the only spare cartridge I have on hand is an old Audio Technica and I believe it has an elliptical stylus. Will this actually damage 78 rpm records, or is it okay to use it? If it will damage the records, what are suggestions for a cartridge that will mate well with the Dual? Thanks!

Eldartford, that's a wonderful story. Of course I have to ask, was the headmaster's high end TT direct drive? ;^)

Hey, a cocobolo stylus would match my plinth and platter, total WAF you know. Twl could even clean and sharpen it for me with his matchstriker. Plato, where do I get one?!
