The outboard power supply should have a long umbilical cord attached to it. At the other end is a complex plug that should mate to a male receptacle on the main chassis. FIRST, before you do anything, see if it is a 100V version, which in all likelihood, it IS. Once you know that for sure, don't do ANYthing, until you have acquired a 120V to 100V step down transformer. The deck uses probably less than 20W of power, so a 50W step down should be more than adequate. Look on eBay. If you need help, I can find one on eBay and quote you the URL. It's cheap and necessary. Once you have the transformer (or maybe the former owner had one that you can acquire), then first connect the power supply to the turntable and THEN plug it into the stepdown transformer and then plug that into the wall. Plugging your 100V unit into a 120V wall socket will cause damage to the circuits.
Yes, it requires a phono stage, of course. Do you have the tonearm cable? If not, that can be problematic, because the connector between the tonearm and the cable is unique. The good news is there is a whole website and a sort of club devoted to this one turntable. I have owned one for 8-10 years, and I love mine.
You correctly guessed that shipping that thing is a challenge. Although the material of which the plinth is largely made appears to be very solid and strong, in fact it is also brittle. Can fragment if not properly cushioned for shipping. Most typically, one or more of the four legs will break off, if the pkg is dropped.
