I have a Rotel turntable that my dad gave to me as a Christmas present.
however, the needle appears frayed and when I play it through my stereo speakers it sounds faint and staticy. how do I resolve this? also, the needle skates across the record when I try to play a record on it.
I need a preamp, but the audio was at least audible when I first got it, now I can't hear a thing.
