Well, a lack of audio would not likely be a problem with the turntable 
itself, since all it does is spin the record around.  
Did you plug it into a "PHONO" input on the receiver?  If not, that would 
explain why you're not getting any level: magnetic phono cartridges have very 
low output to begin with, and the preamp or receiver must boost and equalize 
that signal to standard line levels.
Outside that, the first thing to do is to check all the wires and cabling.  
If the audio is there but faint, check the ground lead for a break.  It's 
also possible that the input you're using on the receiver is faulty (unless 
you've been running something else through it).
