Yes well spotted. Definitely recommend that the mains cable be rewired/re-routed to the on/off switch contacts on the back of volume control and then output side of the on/off switch then wired back to the same black terminal block connections where the Live (Brown) and Neutral (Blue) wires currently connect to.
I personally would go further and replace the 2 core orange (does look like lawnmower typical cable) mains cable with a modern 3 core mains cable, then will be able to connect the earth in the new mains cable either direct to the turntable metalwork or take the earth wire into a spare slot in the black terminal block and from there connect earths as required out to the turntable, PCB (for ground connection) etc.
