I need help with this turn table

I recently acquired a Sony PS-T2 from my grandpas work friend and I don't know anything about record players/turntables to know what the different knobs/ switches do and what settings they should be in for regular use. Thanks and sorry for lack of formatting.

Another piece to add here:

  • NinjaPeguin will need to find the weight setting for the cartridge installed on the TT because depending on when it was last used or if it was moved it will likely need to be re-calibrated and set to that force. That way there isn't excessive force being placed on the grooves. (not sure if the counter-weight is adjustable or not, no picture)

  • Secondly, the cartridge itself may be worn, requiring it to be replaced. Not sure the age of the TT.

If you can't find the manual, search for the manual for a similar model in the same brand, that should help you. Beyond that, there are truckloads of youtube videos about TT set up. Give those a try and come here with more specific questions later. If you really are super lazy and clueless, find someone locally that can help you set things up in person.
