Re: Stereo Recording

Hi Steve,

It could be that one of the wires to the pick-up cartridge has become 
detached or broken or the contact is not good - pulling them off the 
cartridge carefully a little way gently and pushing them back in may 
restore the missing side.

If the USB cable to the deck connects with phono/RCA connectors, try 
swapping L and R around and see if the dead side  moves over. If it 
does, the problem may be be in the the record deck. (Any chance of 
trying it out on an analogue system via local hi-fi shop?)

Also, some record deck tone arms have detachable head-shells; there are 
contacts there that may need cleaning or tightening. Or just removing 
and replacing might do the trick.

Good luck!

Allistair
