    i used an old speaker wire spliced into the og ground wire for a couple of years, got it fixed legitly about 2 years ago for like 15 bucks.

    assuming you have a ground wire, and don't know where to put it....

    loosen a screw on your mixer, put the wire in there, and tighten the screw back up.

    I used a coat hanger once and hooked it into one of the air vents on the reciever, it worked until the bass vibrations rattled it from its precarious connection.

    My grounding is all fucked on my TTBL... every so often, it will generate this buzzing sound and in order to fix it, I have to take it out of the screwed connecting and touch it to an RCA jack...

    What, no one here grounds internally to the turntable?? Some doods use to do that a ton back in the day.

    I would not advise it mind you...

    man, Id advise not to loose up just any screw on the mixer.
    Just make sure the screw is attached to the main under housing.
