You are trying to use a stereo cable on a mono system! Use both leads from the right earpiece. And it sounds as if you have the good old fashioned 'tinsel cord' which is very fine (40 Gauge ?) copper wrapped around or braided with very fine cotton stranding. Almost impossible to make a connection to! Sooooo, take the plug/cord to your favorite hobby electronic store and get a replacement with REAL wire! Or, get just get a plug and solder some cross-connect to the lugs. Be sure to slip the shell on the wire first! smile John C.
