Thanks for the info.

I'm not sure we're on the same page. My C-845 has no plugs on the rear of the chassis except the RCA phono input jack and the AC interlock. What I am referring to (the external speaker terminal strip) is shown in the picture I've attached.

The adapter you mention doesn't ring a bell. The one Zenith FM radio that I can remember having an external stereo FM adapter was their model MH-902 from the 1960s, known as the Zenith "Stereo Multiplexer", which worked with the main receiver to provide stereo FM reception. I was not aware (until now) of aftermarket stereo adapters being available for any of Zenith's other high-end table sets, so it was news to me when you mentioned the "Stereo Companion". That adapter must have been introduced at the same time as the C/H-845 series but before the MJ-1035, the latter being factory-equipped for stereo FM.
