MMC20E stylus for my 1983 BeoCentre 5000

I am looking to buy a new or rather unused stylus for my BeoCentre 5000.  The stylus is MMC20E.  Can anyone help?
Soundsmith do a replacement which is better, though rather more expensive, than the original.

Lane, welcome to Beoworld and thanks for signing up as a silver member, your support is greatly appreciated ! 🤒

You will be able to fit either of these MMC20S, MMC20E, MMC20EN, MMC20CL and as Peter says, a new cartridge from Soundsmith is a great alternative.
