Hi, and welcome aboard.
Pops and hiss most likely is the Lps being dirty or damaged. Not caused by your t'table. I would think your 1st priority should be a new stylus or a whole new cart, since you're dealing with an unknown age / condition factor there. The stylus could be old and worn or damaged, which will in turn damage your Lps.If you're on a tight budget and somewhat handy, search here for DIY RCM, you can build one yourself for about $50. The Groovemaster Label Saver is another inexpensive alternative, allows you to hand-wash/scrub records.
'Course, my best advice is to spend time hanging out and searching the archives here on VA. Do your homework first! It will save you a lot of time, headache, and mis-spent $$$.
