Turntable choices

Have owned a Bang & Olufsen 8002 turntable for 35 years and value highly it's tone-arm control features.  I've lost an output channel while upgrading my pre-amp from a McIntosh C32 to a McIntosh C47.  A rebuilt 8002 w/an MMC4 rebuilt cartridge is available on Ebay for $950.  My question is: do I stay with the B & O, maybe upgrading the cartridge or look at a new turntable with 35 years of new technology "under the hood"?

If all you did was unplug/replug the DIN/RCA cable then check that (have a spare?), and also check the new preamplifier.

Regardless it should be a simple fix.

I've checked the turntable with a McIntosh C32 preamp and yes I'm still only getting one channel of music so the newer C47 is OK.  Next check will be a new connector to the turntable, if I can find one.

Stumbled on this.    Don’t know anything more about it but interesting.
