JVC TT-101 Won't Stop
It’s hardly a main stream item anyway, these days or even when it was current.on the other hand, the TT101 and its ilk are now pushing 40 years old. 
JVC TT-101 Won't Stop
I think JP would agree that the most likely story is that the crack was there since it left the factory or that the PCB swells and contracts with changes in humidity, thus rendering it susceptible to cracking at areas were expansion and contractio... 
Headshell Connector Question
Wow! I never would have guessed that parts such as this could be purchased separately. I'd have suggested just buying a whole headshell and cannibalizing it.  Thanks to all for excellent responses, at least in my opinion.  I like the ones from Ita... 
No right channel in new cartridge
Well, that makes two of us. 
No right channel in new cartridge
"Check the resistance on the right channel take your ohm meter and touch the positive probe to the positive pin on the cartridge and the negative probe and touch the negative pin on the right channel."  As has been pointed out to the OP, this is n... 
JVC TT-101 Won't Stop
My own TT101 turned out to have a tiny crack in one of the PCBs which was finally diagnosed only after what had been an intermittent problem became a constant problem, enabling JP Jones of Fidelis Analog to sniff it out and repair it.  But the def... 
Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon
tochsii, After what you've just been through with a defective cartridge, it is hard to believe you would even remotely consider buying a "Benz from China".  Or any cartridge of any kind ever, from China.  Unless you live there.Benz is also the las...

Audio Technica, Dynavector, Ortofon.  Those are all excellent old-line brands with high reliability and known for their no-nonsense presentation of music.  I own at least one of each of the above, so I am speaking from personal listening experienc...

 My point is that I do not think you can blame the seller for the malfunction of the cartridge, fairly. Because something may have happened to it in shipment or during set up. So after you found the problem, the seller seems to have acted honorabl... 
Dynavector cartridges, old and new
It’s 6 months later. I am really really really going to mount my 17D3 in my new Yamamoto CF headshell and then install it on the same DV505 tonearm that now bears the ART7, TODAY. Honest.After some break in time, I’ll report here on the comparison. 
Would you use an Ortofon A90 on a Jelco tonearm?
 Just for the heck of it, I re- read most of these posts from more than a year ago. It was interesting to see the prevailing arguments about re-tipping versus not retipping as they were hashed over back then. Nothing has changed. But one thing I f...

It’s probably a good idea to get your money back before you insult the seller via the Internet. I’m sure he can read, too. 
No right channel in new cartridge
If you got your money back, or if you eventually get it back, I wouldn’t condemn the seller. It is very plausible that the cartridge worked fine in his hands, both channels. 
No right channel in new cartridge
tochsii, It's going to cost money if you initiate any action with SS or VAS, so be sure in advance that the seller will cover those costs.  After all, you are doing him a favor as well; he needs to know what's wrong, so he can make an informed dec... 
Do 45 rpm 12" LPs really sound better than 33 rpm?
Your “tests” prove nothing that anyone else can use for guidance.
