Nice photo. The AC cord is connected somewhere else.
Two phono audio cables and a ground wire are connected to the terminal strip shown in the photo, not the AC cord.
Please take a clear photo of all cables/cords coming out of the back of the turntable, shown together within one image.

Normally, except the cable was cut and then attached to a power cord (I will attach a close-up photo, where the electrical tape is). I tied the power cord together, but it definitely has taken the place of the phono cables. That white cable that is attached also with electrical tape connects to the G terminal.
I have no clue what was going on here. I hope nothing is damaged, but I don't see how a current could have gone through this.
If I were to remove this and attach the Canare, would I go about by resoldering the Canare wires to the terminals, instead of undoing the power cord splice and attaching wires there?
If the phono cables were cut and the wiring were attached to a power cord that was then plugged into an AC outlet, doing so certainly might have damaged the wiring and fried the phono cartridge if it was connected to the tonearm headshell at the time. If there was no phono cartridge connected to the tonearm as of then, you might be in luck as far as damage is concerned.

Bummer - very bizarre. How would I find out if the wires were possibly damaged? I was going to replace the cartridge, anyway, but I hope there is no other damage.
As for the Canare - should I simply resolder those onto the phono terminals?
Images I posted in this thread show the proper wiring scheme for the phono cables and ground wire.
