No right channel in new cartridge

I just got a Sumiko Blackbird & mounted it.  I have no right channel. I haven’t fine tuned the mounting but, That shouldn’t make me lose a whole channel.  Once or twice I’ve heard a hum in the right channel before I put the needle down. When it goes down it stops & goes silent.  The channel isn’t effected in CD, DVD or radio.

i bought it here(all positives on the seller) & it only had 10 hours on it. It didn’t come in the original box but came screwed into a box... seemed pretty secure.  I checked & reconnected all the pins, jacks into the AVR & ground wire.

What should I try next?

Not EVERYONE here is out to rip fellow members off you know guys!
Do not tar them all with the same brush please!
I have bought several used cartridges, you just have to use that least used sense, you know the one called COMMON SENSE when looking and buying.

Usually if a deal seems too good to be true then it likely is.

I have also sold several cartridges and satisfied customers every time.
Just be honest and handle and pack very carefully if you do not have original box.
Sheesh... Off with their heads according to some here, give me a break!

Perfect cartridge only exists in ones mind.
What may be perfect for one person and their system may be downright awful to another and their system.
It’s all down to personal taste imho and advice can help but you just have to try in your own system.
Yes it can get spendy that way I agree.
But the ones I have tried and did not like I just resold again.

I do not remember if you said how you paid but at this stage they are obviously not going to refund you willingly so....
If via PayPal just initiate a claim as soon as you verify they have received it.
If by credit card go through them, again once you know they have it back.

You could may well have aggravated the situation by commenting on it here but sounds like it is past civility now.
Best of luck with this and don't worry about their blow hard talk of Police involvement. Across state lines. Really?
