Hi,

I just recently had a Technics SL-B100 turntable refurbished with a new cartridge and needle. I don't have a receiver yet, but I was speaking over the phone to someone who might sell me one, and he asked if the piece has a grounding wire. I looked in the back and I see a small hole next to the red and white wires that plug into a receiver, but no wire.

Do I need a grounding wire for this unit, or not? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. I've had a very hard time setting this all up, and I'm a first timer.

Best,

Rob

If it has a metal tonearm, yes.

Many Technics models of this time had a detachable ground wire, which frequently got pulled out and lost. I have been able to rig replacements.

Should be super-simple; aren't they just screwed to the metal deck on the bottom (assuming there is one)? If not, then probably to the bottom of the tonearm mount.

The fashion in killing has an insouciant, flirty style this spring, with the flaunting of well-defined muscle, wrapped in flags. - Comment from an article on Antiwar.com (http://antiwar.com)
