this is way too old for warranty and it worked fine when last I used it ..... 20 year ago.
I’ve tried every which way to flip phase. Nothing changes it. But I’m not sure which way the head shell is configured. I just assumed logically, left and right, but perhaps it’s crossed like the Ortofon.

Don’t think I’m dropping $50 for a test record. This is not my old 24 track Ampex 1200.
I tested another source thru the pre, the pre is fine.
it’s either me crossing wires or the cart failed with age.
From Ortofon tech supp:
"There are two possible reasons for channel missing or level differences: the incorrect position (rotation - in front view) of your cartridge in the tone arm. The other is a defect in the cartridge itself caused by aging, rotation of the armature or shunt(s) between the turns of one coil. "
