Adding phono input to a 37-650X
#1

I am just finishing up a restoration on a really nice 37-650X console.  I all ready have a half dozen GO To radios for short wave listening so I would like to configure this radio to play  my RCA 45rpm record player/changer.  Specifically a 45-J-2 I recently refurbed.  I have spent quite a bit of time researching this but have more questions now than I did before I started.

So my thoughts are to cut the wire between C40 and the junction to the left of it and install a SPDT switch to switch between radio and phono.  Input record player input at top of C40.  Should I put a .01 cap in series with phono input?  Should I put another switch to remove ant input?  

Any help would be appreciated.  Like I said this is a beautiful radio and I don't want it to sit around gathering dust.  I have a BC-348Q, SX-100 and Sx-99 and several others for shortwave listening so I really don't need another SW radio.

Thank you very much for your time
