Ok, I just got a "new" record player from my aunt (it's actually old, but.. new to me)... so, I cleaned it up and stuff, hooked it up, all before realizing the the drive-belt was absolutely OBLITERATED (literally... it was basically in the form of chunky tar)... so, I went and bought a new belt... set it up, you know (well, the store owner set it up...).
ANYWAY! I brought it home, hooked it up... and it... "works".... but it's QUIET AS FUCK! Like, at max volume, it's barely audible.
Can someone explain this? Should I just give up hope and go back to my other player?

don;t know if this has been explained. Older turntables do not have their own built in amplifier, ussually relying on the amp in one's receiver or stere stack, which noone has anymore. what you can do is get a $25 pre-amp at Radio Shack, and a 9 volt battery, connect all that and BLAST YOUR ALBUM to the sky!!!!!!!!!!!!
something that looks like this
