Take the broken one to a hardware store and check the o-rings. You just might find one the right size.

Hi,
Here's a solution to see if you have a problem with either your receiver or turntable.
The turntable has 2 RCA's one red for right channel, and one white or black for left channel, which plug into the back of the amplifier.

• Unplug both RCA from rear of amplifier.
• Plug in a cd or dvd player into those inputs on the amplifier, the sound will be lower but it will give you an indication if the amplifier is ok or not.
• If you have sound on both channels left and right then the amplifier is good
• If you still only have sound on left channel, then there is a problem with the right channel input on the amp.
  

• If your amp, is good, unplug the cd /dvd player.
• Put a record on and start playing the record
• Plug the white or black RCA from the turntable into the rear of the amplifier marked left, you should have sound.
• now unplug it from the left and plug in into the right red RCA socket, if you have sound the amplifier is working fine.
• if there is no sound there may be a problem with the stylus cartridge on the turntable
  
• now lets reverse the test
• unplug both RCA from amp.
• Plug the red RCA into the left socket on amplifier, if there is sound, turntable is working fine, if no sound there is a problem with either the stylus cartridge or that red RCA cable.
• now unplug the red RCA from the left side and plug it into the right side socket
  

• if there is no sound there may be a problem with the stylus cartridge or RCA cable.

I hope this helps

most likely this is the switch that selects among cd/tape/radio/record player. it could be the preamp circuitry in the player as well. it would not be the cartridge UNLESS you cannot see a little rubber 'seat' up inside underneath the cartridge that pushes the stylus tip out and down towards the record just a bit. if this rubber 'yoke' (seat) is missing you will get no sound even when you touch the needle tip when the record player section is selected.

The loading mechanism is out of timing. This needs to be taken apart and reassembled. I'll try and locate the instructions for this tonight.
