I'm not familiar with this model, but I would think that the phono input would work as a line input, since the cartridges made in those days were much higher output than later day magnetic cartridges that reqired a preamp.

In all liklihood (correct me if I'm wrong), the input jack is not an RCA-type - it's probably a three pin jack that's long obsolete. You could probably convert it to an RCA with no problem. It shouldn't be too difficult to do.

Good luck!
