I have inspected the machine and even tested it out with a record I had handy and it works perfectly yet, the needle is still in good shape and the cartridge it has on it is a Shure M92 LT cartridge which from what I read online was one of the best cartridges these Linear Track Turntables could have.
As for the Ground Wire I did find some for sale on ebay for $16 and free shipping.
From what I could tell this turntable seems to be a low hours unit.

There is most likely a belt which drives the arm.. those get loose and can cause mistrscking. I would suggest to change it as preventive maintenance.
The shure is a replacement, and a good one. Technics cartridges are really nothing special.
