An equipment malfunction just prematurely ended an analog listening session. Using a cheap, automatic Technics P-mount TT. When I dropped the arm using the auto drop, I heard a nasty sound, followed by silence. The arm would not track, and no sound came from the TT even when I tested it using a stylus brush.
Is it just the needle? If so, anybody have a P-mount cartridge lying around? Bought my current one from the states pa.
