Hi. I'm new to the forum. I wonder if anyone could help me out with the problems with my belt-driven Thorens TD160 turntable. When it's powered on, motor runs fine, platter spins seemingly good. However, there's hum from speakers and when I brush the needle of the cartridge, no signal is heard (the cartridge works fine with another turntable). With ohm-meter, checked RCA audio cables, checked tonearm cables, they all work and don't seem to have been grounded.
What possibly is the problem?
