Well, I just got a brand new dud Tetrad cartridge. Actually, it's been here for about a month; but, I just now got the customer's stereo up to the point where I could test it and the new cartridge is nearly dead on one channel. I checked the changer wiring and the amp and determined that the problem was indeed the cartridge. As you can imagine, I was highly PO'ed because I was hoping to wrap this one up and get it back to the customer. I dug around and found a new Varco TN4B; and, fortunately, the tonearm head is designed to accept a 1/2" mount cartridge. I've installed the Varco cartridge; but, I'm now cooling down a bit before I test it.
