schnider 65 radio: how to connect aux - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello
I've received a Schinder 65 radio. Since it doesn't have an FM radio, I cant really listen to anything on it.

I'm looking into connecting my phone with a 3.5 jack and I've read some threads here about PU jack and banna/wander plugs. But I'm still not sure which size of plugs I need.

I aslo see a tape jack in in back. Maybe I can use it?

Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

Do you mean Schneider?

I don't know this radio, but if the sockets have 3 small holes they will be DIN: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector

If they have a single large hole they will probably be 4mm banana connectors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_connector

Wander plugs are an eighth of an inch in diameter (about 3mm) and were not generally used outside Britain.

Assuming it's mono and has two 4mm banana plug sockets, this is how I do it (see pics)

Two 4mm plugs to one female 3.5 mm stereo socket. Signal L and R are summed using 2 resistors. The value isn't critical - anything between 220 and 1k will do. I like 330ohms which works well with my phone or a small Bluetooth receiver
