Welcome to the Phorum. Your problem is more than likely a weak phono pickup cartridge if you get low volume output from your speaker. Not familiar with your set but does it have a plug in the back that the phono plugs into? If so, unplug the phono, turn the radio on and set to phono. With the volume set to the middle, touch a small metal tool into the center of the connector on the radio. Touch it briefly with your finger. If you get a loud hum, it's no doubt a weak cartridge that needs replacement/repair.
