Pilot hookup to old radios
#9

Ok, so if I want to add a 3.5mm jack with a switch, are we talking a 2 position toggle switch or a 3 position switch.
Seems like the best performers I have as far as bring outside signals into the radio, have a toggle switch and an RCA jack.
The best I have is a 6 tube zenith with an RCA jack and a toggle switch(on/off).
I have adapters to take from RCA to 3.5 with no problem.
Built one of Phill's adaptor boxes, and it is awesome.
Has all RCA jacks, so I can use the pilot, my phone with an adapter, or my CD player or record player.
Seems the volume and sound quality is far superior to the radios I have that just have the 3.5mm jack tied to the volume switch via a .02 cap.
Call me crazy, but I am just going by what I have.
The RCA hookup that was put into my 6 tube zenith by the previous owner, has a switch and a few resistors wired into the circuit.
It was not done with shielded cable either and it sounds awesome.
Is this old school ?
I am still looking for a simple solution to this problem.
And yes, I realize that I am not looking to get 2 channel stereo. Just decent sound with a nominal amount of volume.
