That's what I was thinking it might of been but thought it was rather bizarre that they referred to it as a "Magnetic Pickup" seeing as most of your modern magnetic pickups for your turntables didn't come out until the 1950s.
Although maybe the input could of been for a wire recorder which wire recorders were around at that time.
I've got another cabinet for this unit on the way that I bought off ebay for $50 plus shipping.
