BSR quanta 400 troubles

I recently tried to use my fathers BSR quanta 400 turntable but i'm having trouble getting rid of the hum. It's definately a ground problem. I'm currently using a cheap grado cartridge that i got for about $40 several year ago. I'm also missing the original rubber record mat. Any suggestions to how to fix the hum and where I can find a replacement mat new or used? The turntable looks great and seems to be working aside from the hum. Also, where might I find mmore info on decent cartridges for it. I would love to get the 400 up and running.

Please help.

I don't know about the mat, but for the hum you might try a 60hz ferrite coil you can probably get at Radio Shack for a few bucks. The interference may be the source of your hum.

I just acquired the same model turntable from a local Goodwill store but I need the wiring colors for the pins on the arm. I have a new needle but the 4 little wires between the stylus and the arm were already disconnected. Any chance you could help me out?

Thanks
