dead cartridge? Darn the Luck ! ! !


Old OM20 that I haven't touched in 20 years. Tried it direct thru my Onkyos phono pre. Nada.Then I tried an outboard NAD pre. Left only.
I swapped sides. Right only. Pre is OK.
I reseated the cartridge wires at the headshell, both sides, 4 pins.
Tested continuity from the cartridge wire through to the NAD input. All 4 pins good.
I know it's rare, but is there something I forgot? Seems I have a dead right side.

I had a new Ortofon Winfield that was internally wired wrong.....they readily exchanged it, ....stuff happens
