Way back in the early 1970's my gran had a Garrard 2025 in a separate plinth and cover and Hit Parade receiver with a couple of EMI speakers in tall cabinets. The 2025 was fitted with a ceramic cartridge. A lot of affordable amplifiers/receivers had inputs for ceramic and if you were lucky magnetic cartridge as well.
You may find that you have a ceramic cartridge fitted especially if it has a flip stylus with LP one side and 78 on the other. This won't work properly into the phono stage of the Cambridge.
