Technics SL-Q5 Static/Weak sound
Today, I received a Technics SL-Q5 purchased on Ebay. Controls seem to work fine, but the sound is terribly static and quite weak. The seller said he had put a new needle on the Audio Technica AT3482P cartridge.
Any suggestions on how I can diagnose this problem?
Any info will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

Hello Fellow real audio lover:
Often you need to check here:
1. Receiver / Amplifier circuits ok at phono input area of amplifier or receiver?
2. Connectors for RCA-type sockets on back of ~90% of phono equipment is loose or corroded - replace it. (search something like 'RCA phono connectors')
3. Replace RCA-type patch cords on back.
Best wishes, DB
