I have just gotten hold of this Nikko NP 500 turntable.

It plays well but when touching the pickup it makes a sound as if it needs grounding.

Anybody knows anything ?
 
Solution
Turntables are very sensitive as the needle is under the pickup.

However if there is a strong noise when you touch the metal arm lightly it suggests the grounding from the needle to the arm may be loose ... check the wires are all attached to the needle firmly.
