I would probably be just as curious.
Chances are it runs on 12volts. I've got some 12v power supplies around so I would connect one as an experiment. Something two or three amps would probably be ok. The tt will only draw what amperage it needs.
Don't know if you have any around. if wall warts are what you have and it doesn't work you'll know right away and I don't think it will do any damage.

Thanks for the info! I was thinking alomg the lines of 6 to 12 volts myself!Brian
Don't unsolder that connector, yet. You will only need the proper wall wart. There is probably an inscription on the molded plastic rear of the table, with the voltage/current spec, as well as which connection is + and which is - .
Like Detailman replied, a 6,9, or 12V wall wart, tried, should not hurt anything. There are switchable wall warts available, also, with various voltages and polarities and different size connectors.
The current draw of this table should be very low, a few hundred mA at most. So, if you have some 6 or 7.5 or 9 Volt wall warts to try, give it a shot. If the tt runs slow, then step up to a 12 Volter, but a low current transformer.
A higher current transformer, with little regulation, will actually put out higher volts, but, as Detailman said, it should not hurt the tt. Good Luck...
Thaks for the advice as well! I thinking of getting a switchable dc wall wart and trying that!Brian
