I did not know that you can cheaply add a Blue Tooth receiver to my old audio equipment.

This article says I can add (plug in, via an RCA plug) a blue tooth receiver that would allow me to play music from my IPhone on my 1970s vintage audio equipment. They say it is available for $20.00. I’m going to search Amazon later this morning.

4 Best Uses For Your Old Audio System - SlashGear

You can repurpose an old audio system as a Bluetooth music setup, PC speaker upgrade, TV sound solution, or budget home theater alternative.

These are the instructions:

You'll need to buy a Bluetooth receiver, which can easily and cheaply be acquired online for around $20.00. These would require an RCA cable to interface with the amp, where you plug it into the "aux" input on the back, which stands for auxiliary. They can be powered by a DC adapter or USB, and while they might not offer audiophile fidelity, you'll instantly bring your outdated system into the 21st century. You might also notice less ear fatigue with warmer, old-school speakers. For many users, this upgrade can bring an otherwise obsolete setup back into rotation for a fraction of the price of modern smart speakers.

I found this Esinkin model on Amazon for $24.00 (49,000 sold, some good reviews). Does anyone know if this is the right item?

I have basically the same model (Logitech branded) - it will work for what you have in mind.

Edit: You might want to think about getting a newer/better model with better support for newer and better sounding codecs.

How do I determine which ones have the newer/better support and better sounding codecs?

I use the Tomsguides website for computery stuff. But they also have recently been running articles on other electronics.

Yeah. I just got one a couple of months ago. My mom has had a Bose Wave radio/CD player for years and the CD part recently gave up. A simple little plug-in unit, going into the RCA "Aux in" port, and it plays Spotify through my phone.
Great little bit of kit as they say. $14 next day
