Welcome to Beoworld.
The SP2 and SP6_7 cartridges were designed for the 78rpm stylus. The SP6-7 for your BG1000 assuming it has the correct tonearm and not a replacement. These are widely available on eBay at varying prices. The SP2 will not be suitable and was for older tonearms.
If you already have the cartridge you may be able to find a 78rpm stylus similarly. The stylus seperates from the cartridge with just the turn of one small screw.
If you contact Axel at the following site, ask him about the stylus for playing 78rpm records and he may be able to help you out. He retips cartridges as you'll see.

For 78RPM records, you will need a stylus radius of 75u.On the SP 6/7 the color of the streak on the "nose" of the black stylus protector will tell youthe stylus radius;
12u Brown (Stereo only)17u Blue (Stereo and mono)25u Red (LP)75u Green (78RPM) - This is what you need, B&O SP 6/7 Type 5415
