Check motor bearings?

The plugs have become loose with age. Either open the back panel of the turntable and solder a new cable or crimp their heads a little with a pair of pliers.

No just the cartridge perhaps! First disconect the wires to the cartridge. With the amp on. Touch the end of the wires one at a time (don't worry you won't get a shock). On two of the wires you should hear a hum on each channel (one for left one for right). The left channel should hum. If it doesn't it's not the cartridge, but either a faulty lead or the left phono pre-amp is faulty on your amp. Test the amp by putting the right in the left channel.
If the left hums the cartridge is faulty.

Make sure you have the deck set up correctly! Check the headshell - is the cartridge out of alignment or is the stylus worn?

Also, it may be that the counterweight is set too lightly for the cartridge and check the anti-skate control as well (example if the arm is tracking at 2 grams, anti-skate must be set at 2).

Follow these instructions for setting the counter balance:

Turn the weight so that the arm is just floating then set the balance ring (with the numbers on) you will see there is a line. Turn the ring not the weight to the ZERO mark where the line is on the top of the arm. Now turn the weight and ring together where it moves forward down the arm and set it at about 2 grams.

Now set the arm using the height adjustment that is the ring fitted to armboard and make sure the arm is straight (if not, the stylus will mistrack). Now try the deck again. You might have to make adjustments to the tracking weight again so whatever you have it set to, set the anti-skate to the same!

Good luck with it (:-)

It is strange that both won't open, something common to both, power supply to them? https://www.google.com/search?q=gemini+cdx+602+drawers+won%27t+open ..

measuring that voltage wont tell you a lot of information. You need to see signals in an audio circuit and those transistors could be MOSFET and or they cannot be tested while in circuit.
