Ok so I have a completely off topic question for anyone who may know.

My dad ( a fellow DUer) gave me his 1973 Technics SA-80 receiver. When I was younger before I got my amp my dad rigged up the receiver to play my guitar through. So I wanted to play my phones mp3 player through it, I found the proper adapter and it works through my guitar amp. i want to use it with the receiver but it will not work.

My question:

Is there any type of converter box adapter kit anything that may allow me to play my mp3s through it? It could easily work, its just a go between, and doesnt have to convert the music so Im just stumped I knew it would work since my guitar played through it. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

1. OMG I used to have that reciever

I'm almost positive. Can't help with the new technology cause I'm still using the old stuff, myself.

2. They're really great and produce amazing sound.

There are Aux inputs in the back but I have no idea what type of inputs they are. Im ten years younger than this receiver so...

3. aux inputs for your tape deck and record player

:rofl: you can probably see what they are in the Smithsonian...Sonny!


just kidding - again, I know I am no help, but I would love to have that receiver!

4. Aux should give you line-level input

Just get a stereo mini-to-RCA adaptor and you might be good to go. If not you'll need to step it up, with a little mixer that takes a phone-level input and outputs to line-level.

5. Ok so those are RCA inputs, that makes sense.

Thanks for the suggestion, Ill try it out because I have to find a way for this to work.
