Dan - I believe I answered this before - there is a relay inside the 
amplifier that applies 110 volts to the turntable socket in the amp only 
after the amp is warmed up. If you have a problem with the amp (sounds like 
you do) the relay will not activate. This is why the turntable motor works 
fine when plugged into another (live) outlet. Get the amp repaired and then 
try it. Good luck,

Jim

I went back to the guys house tonight. The wires to the cartridge didn't 
attach to the cartridge pins securely, I got those tight. Still no sound, 
just the sound from the needle.
Trick I was told to try is to jump the 2 sockets that the cartridge wires 
plug in to on the amp and the speaker should hum, and no noise when I did 
that. Tested the speaker somewhat, by jumping a battery to it, and i did get 
the faint clicking noise from the speaker. I tried the volume control, first 
by jumping the 2 wires, then by removing the 2 wires (which I was told is 
the correct way, should go full volume?) from the amp. I did find 3 
loose/disconnected wires under the amp, but nothing made it work. The 5U4G 
tube is not glowing, I "think" this is the power tube, but not sure. It does 
get hot though. At any rate, I think I'm sure enough that the amp is the 
problem and the owner and I removed the amp and he'll send it out for 
restoring. Also what we just noticed, is if you remember he had the 
Electrolux turntable power cord, well mystery of mysteries, he has several 
Electrolux cords, leaving me to wonder if they are originals?? He replaced 
the turntable cord, and now the turntable refuses to work when plugged in to 
the recepticle on the amp. It does work fine if you plug it in to the wall.
