Hey All,
I have a vintage 1960 Magnavox stereo cabinet with am/fm radio and phonograph built in. It works and sounds great. What I would like to do is hack it so that I can plug in my ipod and have it play through the system.
Obviously the easiest way would be to get fm transmitter, but that seems very inelegant to me.
The input wires from the phonograph to the amplifier are easily accessible and I was thinking I could cut into those send the output to a switch box, have the ipod plug into the the switch box as well and then send the output from the switch box to the amplifier.
My question is this...I know you can't normally send this kind of output to a phonograph input. Is there a good way to attenuate the signal properly I would appreciate some info. Perhaps someone has already tackled this kind of project and posted the information on the web, if so I have not found the right search terms to find it.
Thanks!
Bill
