Strange Problem: Philips 867 Turntable ...Please read

The turntable is plugged in to my RGR Pre-amp and yet the turntable will NOT power on UNLESS I turn Amp on.

The turntable will then function fine.

WHY do you think this is happening ?

I have plugged in turntable directly into wall outlet ...still no power!

Does this mean the turntable needs a signal from the AMP as well as the pre-amp in order to work?

Opinions please

That could be sign of dying electrolytic capacitors in the table power supply that can't provide clean power for the touch sensor circuit.

IF plugged in the turntable directly into wall outlet and touch the 33 or 45 speed panel still can't turn on the table, your table is not working properly and service is needed.
