technics sp 15

I hope I'm not the only person confused by this post.  I'm not familiar with this turntable -- is the OP saying the only cord attached to the base of the plinth is the power cord?  No Ground Wire or Two RCA Jacks coming out of the turntable guts?  I don't think I've ever seen a turntable built during the SP-15 era (1979 to 1988) that didn't have RCA jacks, a Ground Wire, and a Power Cord attached.  Learn something new every day.

$5.....and all this missing is a cart(ridge)....?!

@meerkat ....if it wasn’t for the fiver, you stole it. ;) +10 to the tenth...

Now, spend what It Could Have cost, and treat it to a nice cart....and enjoy.

(...spied a pair of KEF C45s’ at my local Habit-tat....decent shape, nothing but dust, drivers seem solid....going to go back with leads and battery, give ’em the ’clic’ test.

Shop needs a ’new pair of sumptin’ for the CDs’ and the cell streams....

...and $15 the pair....rated to 100 w., so they can’t blow them up immediately...*L*)

Something to compete with sanders, routers, saws, ennui... ;)

...there is also pair of Kenwood 4ways, 12" woofs, comes with the 'classy' front 'diamonds' grilles....but a 95/pr., let some other mortal 'make his day'...

Don't kvetch, kevin...shop runs a 'better' Sony receiver with an SAE parametric, Technics CD carousel...

I 'fly' the speakers, so they don't collect anything but sawdust....

.....but that's an excellent reason to play them Loud....er....😏

( That, and a pair of woofs, low-passed onto the B outs could sub the stuff in an 'adequate frisson'... *S* )

Facts are simple and facts are straight
Facts are lazy and facts are late
Facts all come with points of view
Facts don't do what I want them to
Facts just twist the truth around
Facts are living turned inside out
Facts are getting the best of them
Facts are nothing on the face of things

...and that's about what the next 4 months in GA is going to crraaawwwwlllll through...

Oh boy...we get to watch....

A happy ending to my newly found turntable. I saw something about Bob doing custom jobs for audiophiles. Somehow, I found a website on him and sent him a email. He responds and is helpful from the start. He offers to send me the plug and go from there. I give him my address and my good luck he has moved to my city. We connect and he comes over to my house and figures out what I need. Next day he makes some cables for me,provides a headshell and cartridge perfect for my turntable. All this for a very reasonable price. Bob Devices is my buddy from here on!

Congrats! 

All the best,
