I recently discovered a Kenwood KD-2055 turntable in my basement. I got so far as to hooking it up to the phono inputs in my amp and plugging it in. I put the record on and put the needle on that. How do I make it play?
There's several buttons:
2 labelled "Speed", one is "33", other is "45". I'm guessing this refers to RPMs. Which one do I use?
There's a lever that seems to move the arm up or down. I figured out that the best way was probably to put it up, slide it over to the edge of the record, and put it down.
There is a wheel labelled "anti skating" - sounds like something to do with skipping. It has numbers on it.
At the end of the arm there is a rotating cylinder, also with numbers.
There is also a small metal plate with a button called "Cut" and a lever. The lever is labelled "Play" on one side, nothing on the other. It seems to be locked into the play position.
How do I get it to work?
