In the other side, just forget about those vintage cartridges.  +1...As much as I love vintage carts, (and I have a BUNCH of them), there are some excellent new cartridges on the market.  Without knowing the exact provenance of vintage cartridge...

You might try to remove the stylus assembly and then reinsert it.  Sounds like a bad cart, but maybe the stylus isn't quite making contact.
