Found this turntable/amplifier system in my dad's old things but the cables (except power cable for the receiver which is attached) are missing. I would appreciate if someone could help point me where to look for what I need to get this going, I'm new to hifi/vinyl systems so don't really know where to begin. I attached the image as an Imgur link. The turntable is a Technics SL-3 and the Receiver is a JVC R-X300. I need a power cable for the turntable and whatever cables will be needed to connect the turntable and receiver. I am also looking for speakers that will be compatible on Craiglist. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I also have his record collection and would love to give it a listen like he used to, thanks!

EDIT: re-added the image, let me know if any other images would be helpful!

Pretty straight forward.

You need on set of RCA cables.

You need some kind of a ground wire between the TT and the receiver (it's a simple single wire. The connection at the TT end looks special, but it's not really diffrerent than a single wire insertion

You will have to find a power cord that fits the back of the TT. It shouldn't be hard. It's not really special, but the molded end won't be the same as every other one. Still, it's just carrying voltage from the wall.

Go to vinylengine and set up a free login. You can get the owner's manual for the TT there free. It shows the cable hook up. The just do a quick once over to see that everything looks right.

Find some speakers and speaker wire.
 
Thank you, everyone, for your input and thanks for the warm welcome! I will start hunting for the right cables and will update this thread once I get her up and running, thanks again!
 
If you Google the Technics SL-3 you will actually run across the PDF download of the manual. The ground wire gets attached to that hole on the very left. So it looks like you might need an RCA plug on that end of the wire and then it goes to the ground screw on the amplifier.
