Hi JD,
Welcome to the forum
Nice turntable you've got there! I love EMTs.
There could be a number of reasons why you've got no signal coming from the left channel. Have you checked for breaks or loose connections in the cartridge leads and phono leads connecting the deck to your preamp or phono stage? Or any other cables in the signal chain, even the phono connectors on the deck itself, or if the phono lead is captive have you checked the internal connections?
I doubt there's any inherent problem with the deck itself as they're built like tanks and designed to last forever!

Thanks. I haven't done any of these things yet. Quite frankly, this thing intimidates me...I'm heading out of town this weekend. When I get back I'll dive in...gently.
