I guess you've downloaded the manual :-

I'd have it apart, change the cable and check the voltage setting. If you have it connected to speakers via a phono amp you should get some sound from it just rotating a record with the stylus on it. Unless it has an internal phono stage which would not necessarily be a good thing.

I suppose the other thing is it might not rotate until the am is over the deck as it's fully automatic it might not like you pulling the arm over the deck either.

The belt had come off in shipping, it was in good nick and I put it back on. Am pretty sure its on right...

I am not sure if there is meant to be any display, I cannot see any lights and I don't think the part in the attached photo [1] is meant to be a screen.
Yeh, it was a punt, I have had seen quite a few working old automatic ones though.
The button is a source of confusion. You can see the attached photos [2][3] , its at an angle (about the horiz axis) that seems to be fixed weirdly, but if you press on each end it rotates a bit (about the vert axis). But there is no click or any tactile feedback to register it...
I have a feeling is in the power supply, even when fully connected up to the amp there's no satisying crackling over the speakers.
Wonder whether you guys know what adaptor to use for perhaps some simillar sony turntables.
I've attached the b*st*rd [4]; appears to me to be a IEC two pronged number. Did connect it to [this] but alas, not working. (https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/power-cable-assemblies/9010756/).
