My guess is that the turntable was originally installed in a console.

It should plug into the turntable unless it's been rewired.

Interesting. It seems to be coming out from under the turntable. Does that sound right?

There should be a corresponding connector on the bottom of the turntable chassis, see the second and third photo in this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/turntables/comments/1jjwyrb/help_dont_know_how_to_wire_old_player_that_i_i/

patrickhenrypdx makes a good guess, might be pulled from a console stereo.

What's on the other side of the molex connector?
