Red and white are audio left and right.
The barrel has how many pins (or receptacles for pins) ? Could it be a DIN audio socket ? Do not try applying power to it until identified.
There may also be a single terminal or trailing wire to provide an earth link between the turntable and amplifier.
Power is likely to be via a captive cable, with a wall plug on the end, surely. Though I fond a thread that suggested that this turntable ran on 12 volts power -- see if there are any labels on the turntable base suggesting this.
Take a picture of the barrel socket and post it on Facebook or You Tube or PhotoBucket and post a link here.

It's probably still usable if the power input is 12 volts DC as this is a fairly common voltage for things like routers and they turn up very cheap (or in the garbage) as people change ISPs.
If, as you say, the turntable is a cheapo you don't have much to lose by experimenting. If it works, any turntable is better than none.
Personally I would suggest getting a secondhand Technics 1210 series direct drive (the default choice for DJs). Coming down in price as the amateur DJ fad passes -- a friend recently bought one in new consition for $120. It's solidly built and the slightly economy-class arm can actually handle a wide range of cartridges. Direct drive eliminates the need to replace a hard to find obsolete belt.
