I'm in a similar situation. I have a reconditioned vestigial tonearm, and the color coding on the wiring is not 100% right. But it's easy. With the RCA plugs the pin in the middle is signal and the shield-outer is ground. Right hand plug is red, left is black or white. The right signal on the RCA pin is red, the ground (shield) is green. Left signal (pin) is white, ground is blue. Use a sensitive ohm-meter to match the wires with the cartridge connectors to the right and left pin and shield. When you choose a cartridge remember it has to be high compliance because of the low mass of the vestigial arm. I'm trying an ADC XLM. It still isn't connected, but I'm expecting good results.
