The phono cartridge could be connected where the output of the missing transformer would have gone. But it's hard to be sure -- I only have the nostalgiaair schematic and it is very hard to read, the phono connections didn't scan well. Plus there is a funky scratch eliminator circuit with its own tube. I'm not sure how useful that will prove to be. I'm sure we can help you experiment with the best place to connect the phono, once you have the radio working.
