Phono setting and MC/MM


Gave a buddy one of my old turntables and it has a MC cartridge.  Will that work on a vintage receiver with just a single Phono option?

I had a mc with both MC and MM but his receiver is just Phono.

Will a MC cartridge play?

I strongly doubt the receiver is switchable to MC.  He will probably need a separate "head amp" (phono pre-preamp).  I would guess old head amps are available used for $50-$100.
BTW, I hope your buddy realizes what a good friend you are to donate a TT with a Hana SL!
