And now, back to my missing channel problem. . .

Just to fill in some history, I was listening to my MMF 7 the other day when I lost the right channel. It just went dead, no pops or crackles or smoke. While rechecking the pickup leads, I broke one of the lead wires. Coincidentally, it was the right side ground wire that I broke. Anyway, I was able to twist the broken ends back together and covered the bare wires with hotmelt glue. I have checked the continuity and all seems well with no cross connections. But still no right side. Could the problem be in the cartridge?

I swapped the cables R to L going into my 834P phono stage and there was no sound from the left side, so I still believe that the problem is upstream in the TT.

Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

TIA

Switch the left and right channels at the back of the cartridge. Be really careful this time! :^)

If the problem switches channels, then it's the cartridge. If not, it's in the tonearm wiring.
