Technics SL-1600 Turntable Direct Drive Working BUT Cartridge Issue / No Cover

I don't know if it's broken and needs to be replaced or just fixed. I can snap it on, but still don't know if it needs to be replaced. I don't have a speaker to test the audio. But, with it playing on a vinyl, I could hear faint music coming from the needle, but again, no speaker to test it.
