My search for the existence of a Sony model psls 29 didn't turn up anything meaningful. Perhaps you meant the Sony PS-LX295 turntable. If so, it is indeed true that the turntable is powered from 12VDC provided by the receiver.
However, the power connection does not use a phono plug. It's a, perhaps proprietary, rectangular 3 pin connector.

Oh yes Sony liked to pretend they were selling modular hifi pieces, but were cost cutting by sharing power supplies between components, so they only worked with the Sony amp. Quite a lot of their record and tape decks used that power connector for a number of years. These days there is nothing they will connecto to made of course. Some people retrofit a standard power socket on them and use an external 12V DC power supply to run them instead. -- Len Sorensen
