From the photo it looks like there is no earth wire from the tonearm tube to the post that the large black earth (to phono earth) is connected to.
From the tonearm you should have right channel +- ,left channel +-, plus earth. ( 5 wires all up ).
I cant see if the braid is connected - is this connected to the arm ??
If so try connecting that to the black earth wire post. Otherwise if its missing you need an earth wire from the armtube to the post the black earth wire is connected to. Look closely at the bottom of the arm - is there a loose wire/evidence of earth wire missing/earth lug with nothing on it ??
