I know little about the BOL but if your receiver does not get a good hum when touching the input from the BOL, this dog will not hunt. Please give that a try. If you get a nice hum, then go on to the BOL. You could have a problem with the switch to go to phono or part of the circuit that handles the phono. Divide and conquer. Make sure the radio portion is active for the phono input
