Hi,

I just recently had a Technics SL-B100 turntable refurbished with a
new cartridge and needle. I don't have a receiver yet, but I was
speaking over the phone to someone who might sell me one, and he asked
if the piece has a grounding wire. I looked in the back and I see a
small hole next to the red and white wires that plug into a receiver,
but no wire.

Do I need a grounding wire for this unit, or not? Any help would be
greatly, greatly appreciated. I've had a very hard time setting this
all up, and I'm a first timer.

Best,

Rob

If it has a metal tonearm, yes.

Many Technics models of this time had a detachable ground wire, which
frequently got pulled out and lost. I have been able to rig replacements.

Should be super-simple; aren't they just screwed to the metal deck on
the bottom (assuming there is one)? If not, then probably to the bottom
of the tonearm mount.
