Yes, it's a detector output for an MPX adaptor... back then, the FCC used to mandate backwards compatibility ;-)
Follow Ups:
So to get stereo I need to find an MPX tuner . . . or I can just set up a mono only system (which I might do since I have a mono amp that needs to be connected to something).
Most notably, better signal to noise ratio and lower distortion at ANY signal strength (even at full quieting) -- compared to stereo.I use a mono tuner (Sherwood S-2000 and/or S-3000) on my living room hi-fi stereo. I use a "Y-connector" to feed mono to both channels of my HF-81 )via a little black R/S switchbox visible in the photo above), but many late-1950's era preamps and amplfiers (i.e., of the pre-MPX era) will "automatically" render a single FM mono input to both channels of the amp when the right input is selected.
I still haven't quite figured out the tuner inputs on a Sherwood S-5500II I have! :-)
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?no TT?
... it's just kind of small... it's a b&o TX-2 (fleamarket find); I actually like it quite a bit (which is why it's in the living room).
all the best,

Kudo's for you!Show's that you don't have to have high $$ gear to "enjoy" the experience!
Congrats!
I have a number of RCA Shaded Dogs in both stereo and mono. Of course, the stereo records have a fabulous image but the monos are a little clearer.
...which is what I do with my mono tube tuner. Sounds fantastic! Much better than any mpx I've tried.
That's what I do, too. It may be "dual-channel mono" rather than true stereo, but my old tube Heathkit A-14 tuner sounds mighty nice that way anyhow.
