    Logitech has this Bluetooth to speaker device. It has stereo RCA and 3,5mm jack output. You could try something like this.

        Don’t you need an amp for that? There are small amplifiers with Bluetooth as well. An old car radio with Bluetooth may be cheapest option. If it doesn’t need an amplifier normally then the Logitech thing may still work

          Its a self contained record player/ radio. It doesnt need an amp. I dont think the logitech product would work as the unit doesnt have rca or 3.5mm jack

    There's a reason those tie down screens say "ext" on them. It isn't for extra technology goes here. Other than the antenna, nothing there is meant to be fed.

        Wire the FM antenna if you haven't already, to make sure it works. There are several BT to RF tuners out there for old car radio use. Finding a reliable one will probably be more work than it's worth, but they exist.

    Do the original electronic components work?
    What do you intend to do with them?
    Do you want to keep them?
    Are you attempting to get a modern bluetooth device to interface with it?

      i dont know if the record player works but the radio and speakers do.
      i want to sell this but i wanted to use it as a bluetooth speaker if it doesnt sell

    If you decide to get rid of it, do it properly: Haul it to an electronics recycling yard and pay the fee.

    It's got an "Aux" on the input dial which makes me think there's an auxilary input somewhere on the receiver/amplifier unit.

    But honestly if you really want to use this thing because you like the appearance of a mid-century modern hi-fi cabinet, you're probably better off gutting it and putting a modern amplifier and modern speakers in it.
    There's no part of the electronics in your photos that's actually worth keeping.

      BE CAREFUL!!
      You will almost certainly need an isolation transformer if you don't want to energize your phone with 120V. These old stereos were often "hot chassis" sets, meaning that the metal chassis that the components are mounted on will be connected to either live or neutral depending on the orientation of the plug (they weren't polarized back then). This was allowed at the time because the exposed metal of the chassis was covered by wood or plastic.

      The easiest and safest way to do this is with a FM-bluetooth adapter, since that will provide isolation. But it won't sound great.

    It might be possible to create an electronic switch that changes the input to the speakers.
    However, judging by the look of this it's using some passive speakers. There's an amplifier in there somewhere, right?
    I guess what you'll really need is to switch the input to that. No idea if it will sound right after that though.

      I think you'll want to attach to whatever the equivalent of the phono stage is in there.
      It probably just goes straight to the Pre Amp though so you'll likely need to install one. You can find Phono Stages that can act as switch boxes and allow you to choose the sound input (in this case either the bluetooth device or the turntable)

        Find an electronics hobbyist (one who actually solders his own shit and deals with old appliances) and get him to do it.
        These old dual speaker-turntable combos are surprisingly simple. Don't let them intimidate you.

            No shit, but stereo can describe anything from a digital car sound system to a shitty portable tape deck.
            I ain't talking about ALL stereos,

        All the same shit anyway. Texas instruments standard chip. Some are more efficient, some have better sound quality. You won't get better tech with paying for marketing and a brand.

    Everyone in this thread is moronic except for me. Just get an Arylic Up2Stream Amp and be done with it. You'll get WiFi streaming and an IR remote.

    OP, this loos like an old Magnavox Astro-Sonic unit, a mid-fi unit from the late 1960s. If you take the back off and look at the bottom of the receiver unit, there should be 2 sets of L/R RCA jacks. One will be occupied by the leads from the record player; the others are the Aux circuit.

      only guy in the thread that knows anything
      you need to take the thing apart and look, the "aux" setting on the knob might be an input, or just a way to switch to the external speakers output here

    Well it kinda depends on what version of the R134a communication standards your phone's Bluetooth dongle is set to. You can do this by using a wireless tone generator and probe. The spectrometer will tell you which command prompt windows you should enter into active directory before you make any changes to your subnet mask. Then by plugging the speaker into a port replicator, your device should connect automatically to the bluetooth's patch panel.
