Philco 41-608 add AUX input thru Phono RCA Jack
#1

Hello, I just finished restoring Philco 41-608 Radio/BOL Phono. I've tried to keep it as much original as possible. Only replaced caps, few wires and resistors, everything works even the original BOL set up. But i would like to add AUX input without doing any additional modifications (i.e soldering switch and wires to existing volume pot). I was wondering if I can create a removable splitter for "RCA" like jack that's going into the chassis from phono and use that as an input for a music player, using stereo to mono modified cable of course. Here is schematic showing where rca jack connects to chassis. Also I call it RCA input but its actually smaller than regular RCA cable, so if someone could tell me what cable is it i would appreciate it as well? Thanks in advance.

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
