I really don't know if the jack is original or not. If and when I remove the chassis I will be able to tell more just by the build of the jack and the wiring used to install it. If it is a later install, it will probably not be cloth wire and the jack will probably just have a newer look about it in general, if that makes sense. Either way, mine would have to be an output jack for headphones, which is no surprise to me as back in the early days of radio people would want to sit up late and listen to broadcasts from far away lands as AM comes alive at night. Back then you might not even have a daytime radio station as nothing was close enough. So at night you wouldn't want to p off all the early birds sleeping.
Most of the time if a phonograph jack was installed there would be a sticker or something pointing out its function and also there would be a position on one of the controls specifically for that function. I don't see why the old radio's that bear the Victrola function would not amplify the Ipod signal once you find a way to introduce it. Might be worth a try.
