Technics SL-Q350 Turntable - does it have a built in preamp?

Question

I am trying to diagnose an output problem of this turntable.  My father a long time bought a new reciever to play DVD's and got rid of his old one.  The new receiver doe snot have a specific phono input, and I believe does not do any RIAA pre-amp.

It may also have lost a ground wire when he moved it.  

Does this turntable have a built in RIAA preamp?  That would eliminate that issue.

You do need a phono preamp and a ground wire.

Here's the replacement ground wire if it's lost...

You can get a phono preamp cheap... or you can get one that sounds great for just a little more...
