Technics Turntable Wires

What receiver/speakers work for an old Technics turntable?
I have an old Technics SL-D1 direct drive turntable. I know nothing about it, got it for free, but want to make it work. My mom said she had one back in the day and ireceiver a reciever. Where do I get one of these, is she right, and how much do they usually cost? Also, the only output wires this thing has is a two pronged metal U thing, and the black/red, blue/white wires. What the heck am I plugging into speakers??
Basically, I have no clue what I need to do with this thing. I just want it to play records. In totally simple terms, if you have an old turntable system, what do you need to buy or get to make it play some tunes????
On your turntable, you should have a power cord that plugs into a 120 volt outlet. You will also have 2 RCA jacks, a (*red) right and a ( *Black) left. You should also have a small thin wire with a copper u shape connector, could be black or green. That is a ground wire that hooks up to your receiver. It is there to stop "Hum" or what some call a 60 hertz noise.
Any receiver with a phono stage will play your TT. However, you need to see what kind of cartridge you have on the end of that tone arm. It will be either a MM or MC, most all receiver phono stages will have a MM type. If possible, look at your cartridge and google the name and model number and see what you have.
You Technics SL-D1 is a cheaply made turntable. (sold for 125 back in 1980) You will find that it sound better in every way ( sound stage, mid range, bass, treble, ETC ) than the average CD/ DVD/ MP3 players of today.
Setup of speakers and cartridge is really important. I would advise you to find a cheap 2 channel receiver like a old Kenwood, Luxman, Technics, Pioneer, ETC. Make sure it is a big, quality unit ,and weights something. If your not sure, google the brand and model number.

Decksaver Dust Cover for Technics SL-1200 and 1210 Turntable $59.99 This Decksaver Dust Cover is specifically designed to protect your Technics SL-1200 or 1210 turntable from the harsh environment of the modern club. It'll help keep smoke, dust, and the sticky liquids in check that are daily hazards for DJs and club owners, especially when you're not physically there to protect the equipment yourself. Decksaver covers are tailor-made to exacting standards to fit the SL-1200 or 1210 like a glove. Rather than using cheaper inferior acrylic, it is made from polycarbonate—a very hardwearing plastic used in bullet proof glass—and made to fit your gear as closely as possible. The use of polycarbonate means that thinner material can be used, making for discrete and strong, yet attractive protection for this particular unit. Great care is taken to trim each Decksaver to achieve the best fit and still leave cables in place.Polycarbonate dust cover designed to fit Technics SL-1200 or 1210 exactly Protects your turntable from dust, smoke, and sticky liquids Fits snug while leaving cables in place |
