I got it fixed, it was a short in the wiring from the tonearm to the amplifier, apparently the way I had it wired up was that the "ground lead" of the headwire was tied to the chassis of the turntable which was causing a short, so I wired it so that the ground was floating separate from the turntable chassis and now its working fine.

Unfortunately the cartridge (a Sonotone 2T) is nearly dead because its not putting out much audio (the volume has to be cranked up to the halfway point to even hear anything) which means I'm going to have to find another mono (Hi-Fi) 1/2" mount flip-over cartridge to use with this record player.

Any suggestions as to a good replacement cartridge to use with this record player?
