When I get home tonight I will look closly at both my Technics SL-10's power cords. I seem to remember them looking very close to the one on older Philips/Maganvox cd player. I'll post again later. As to the cartridge, it's p-mount and there are plenty on the market. Give a look at the Needle Doctor.com he's got a wide range.
Technics SL-10 Linear Tracking
I'm trying to break into the vinyl side of music and I would really appreciate any advice I could get on a hand-me-down from my Dad.
He hasn't used the turntable for at least 15 years, so operationally I have no idea what condition it's in.
The catch is that he misplaced the AC power cord so at the moment i cannot plug it in.
The AC power jack is a lot smaller than the standard size for audio components. The interesting thing is that there are two power supply imputs: the AC power jack and a DC power jack (12 V).
Should I just walk over to Radio Shack and pick up a 12 V universal power cord?
Finally, there is also a MM/MC button on the back, does that mean I won't need to buy a phono stage?
Thanks!
