I really love it when douche bags like you don't contribute to a thread and just want to talk shit because you think you have superior knowledge to someone else about the subject. How the fuck are you suppose to learn how to repair something unless you ask or get knowledge about it. I could just run blindly into the whole thing and screw it up more than it already is. So.... how does my dick taste bitch?

Thanks for the response. I'm repairing simply because I don't want to buy a new record player. It works perfectly other than the lack of P-Mount (Cartridge & Needle) which was thrown away because it doesn't work and I am currently waiting on my new P-Mount to arrive. I just wanted to check and see if everything was okay as far as the mechanics go. I know about circuitry so if anything is wrong I'll be able to fix it, just wanted to check.

Hey guys. I'm currently repairing a old Sony PS-LX22 and I have need some help with repairing it. The first thing is, I bought a phono pre-amp for it and I'm going to connect a ground wire to the model, I believe I have found the ground inside the model but I'm not sure. Here is the image of it below. It's the second image in the gallery. http://imgur.com/a/qqjFq I'm not sure if that is the ground wire all I know is that it screwed in to what I believe to be metal plate underneath the platter and then screwed onto to the board for the RCA jacks and needle wires. Also in that gallery the first image I noticed that there is some goo on the tone arm's movement path. I don't know if it's like lubricant just to keep the thing sliding or not. The final picture in the gallery is of a bunch of random wires coming out of the metal plate underneath the platter to the board that controls the play/stop button and eject button. The other thing I was wondering is if I should replace the RCA cables. The unit is pretty old from what I know (at least the early '80s) and I don't know the quality of the RCA jacks because I haven't yet been able to use the unit because I need to replace the p-mount. The RCA cables are soldered onto the board so I don't know if it is worth it or not. Thanks in advance.
