Hello everyone. I am working on a the above stereogram for someone. He wants to pair two external speakers to the stereogram using Bluetooth. The unit does not have an input for headphones, which was my first thought. So, where can I place the Bluetooth transmitter?
Thanks for your help. It's been first time I have been asked to do this. Cheers.

According to the circuit diagram, there should be a 5 pin DIN socket somewhere that you could plug a bluetooth module into, without having to do any modification to the actual stereogram.

That will sort of work. It is before the unit's volume control so the bluetooth speakers will need their own volume.

Also, if the input impedance of the bluetooth box is low it will load the ceramic record player cartridge and roll off the bass.

However, a bluetooth receiver would work just fine with those connections, allowing you to play content through the unit.
