Yes: The "gramo socket" should be an audio input. In the USA we call it a "phono" input (for phonograph). In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, it's called gramophone.
But anyway...
This input was originally for the set owner to connect a phonograph, er, gramophone to that input. You can use it for any audio device needing amplification, provided that the input is isolated from the radio with a capacitor. It should have a capacitor inside providing that isolation. But only the set's schematic would tell for certain.
So, you could use your radio to amplify your iPod, myPod, yourPod, hisPod, herPod, etc.![Icon_wink Icon_wink](https://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

While this link shows how to wire up an iPod input to a radio that did not have one originally, it will also show how to use this input for modern devices.
Oh, David, I received your email, thanks very much - I will send you a reply later on today, if that's OK.
