Cartridge Type
Hi,
What receiver have you tried? Also what cartridge do you have fitted? If it's a moving magnet cartridge you'll need a dedicated moving magnet turntable input (marked MM), but if you have a low-output moving coil cartridge you'll need a moving coil input (marked MC). Neither type will work directly into Aux/CD/Tuner/Tape inputs as the cartridge output is too low and requires RIAA equalisation. If you're happy that the receiver input is of the correct type and working then it only leaves the cartridge or wiring?

preamp
Hi,
You'll need to connect the turntable to a 'moving magnet phono' input to equalise the cartridge signal and boost it to line level - if your amp doesn't have a turntable input you could buy an-line preamp (just do a search on google for phono preamp).

Stylus
If it's still got the original cartridge in it just do a google search for 'Technics EPC-270C stylus' and several suppliers will show up
