Have a RCA switch in my 9X531 Golden Throat that I plug in a belkin bluetooth that works great.
Can that be done in , for example, a 1941 Zenith 8-S-563X?
Any other method?

Buy a late 1930s or early 40s RCA or G.E console, they came with phono jacks from the factory, maybe some others did too but not Philcos. Otherwise an SSTRANS or some other low power AM transmitter is probably the better way to go, and requires no modification of the radio.
