4/5/14 I know some of you have done this - I have a 53-1750 Radio Phonograph console. If I wanted to play my Ipod through the radio, how would I do this? Connect wires into the antenna leads? Hook into phonograph wiring?? I don't want to fry anything !!
Thanks.
Link to teh sch please.

If you were going to do it at all you would have to connect it through the audio circuitry, that is if you don't have a short range transmitter like a SSTRAN. If the set does not have a power transformer I would not do it at all, it's a safety hazard.

Use the phono input wire. The connector should be similar to an RCA jack. Get the proper connectors and splitters and it works very well. I use this wiring on my 47-1230.
Use the phono lines.

It would be a god idea, both to match impedance and protect your ipod, to install an 8:1k ohm audio transformer. Use a switch to disconnect the phono when using the ipod.
