Yes, I have the same set up on my 47-1230. My 1940 Coronado has an RCA jack built into the chassis from factory new, meant for use with an external phonograph. In fact, there is even a phono button on the dial next to the station pre-sets, so it was the perfect set up for use with this M-15 phonograph.
These connectors were developed in the late 1930's by (who else?) RCA, and were quickly adopted for use by other brands as well. Apparently not Philco, however, until after the war, but I'm probably wrong on this. Perhaps the Beam-of-Light phonographs used them in the early 40's?
