I've a RX turntable with a MMC5 cartridge that I'd like to convert to accept other B&O cartridges or brands of cartridges, preferably p-mount. Is there an adapter available to do this, if so, where can it be obtained? Thank you for your help!
No such adaptor due to the lightweight nature of the MMC* cartridges. B&O did produce an adaptor to enable these cartridges to be used on other turntables but not the other way round I'm afraid.

The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.
Dear Chris,
Thank you for getting back to me on this. It looks like I'll have to send the cartridge out for a new cantilever, I understand buying a used or old stock MMC is risky. Perhaps I can fabricate an adapter such as a square plastic holder having male MMC sized pins on one side with female p-mount receptacle pins on the other.
Regards, Gabriel
The problem with mounting anything other than a MMC* cartrifge will be setting the tracking weight. You will need to fashion something appprox' the same weight as the cartridge which won't be easy but good luck if you have a go
