Yeah, show us the guts and share how you did it.  Don't be a info hog.

I have a huge 1952 Mcmichael "Wireless" that has a Gramophone input on the back. Two pins with a jack cable hard wired in- easy. Lacks drive with a lead guitar( preamp can sort that, especially coming out the earphone output of my mod'ed roberts radio- fierce!). A Bass is really sweet through the 12" speaker.
