Hello Zelandeth
I would not be too suspicious about bodges yet. The wire with pink sleeving going nowhere looks familiar. I have a different Vega set and it has the same wire sleeved but connected nowhere. I didn't discover what it does but seeing yours makes me suspect that it is a monitor point. I have a Selena too and it is very impressive so I would agree with Paul. I can't confirm that it too has the wire to nowhere but guess it has.
Although I have had no problems with the turret tuner I gather it can be a problem so cleaning the contacts is a good first step.

Best of luck.
