Help installing RCAs on TD147

Posted by pete3m@gmail.com (A) on March 13, 2015 at 10:32:11

Enter my first turntable restoration. I'm excited; but a complete noob, don't know where to start. Looking forward to importing my motorcycle tinkering to a turntable, but I can't tell an RCA from a power cable, basically. Attached image of the underside of the TD147; I bought as-is from fleabay, no extra cables. I'd like to solder in two RCA plugs into the back to hook up a Cambridge pre-amp. Two things:

1. Advice on cables inside and the RCA plugs to the outside...good ones to install

2. Once I install the plugs into the wood base, where do the cables/wires get soldered into? I have little idea what I'm looking at here

I've done resrach online, but it seems at least most people know where an RCA cables solders into. Right now I can only see two black wires, one of which leads to the rpm switch, turns green, then back into the plug that goes into the circuit board, joining the other black one...

I appreciate the help - A green question, nonetheless, have to start somewhere. I can't yet hook up the system, and the motor needs a clean (took it apart already, it's out of the photo). Thanks!
