METHOD TO HOOK UP PHONE'S AMAZON MUSIC, PANDORA, ETC. TO CIRCA 1978 RECEIVER

Old receiver has no plugs or openings available for any modern mode of connection. Has tape, phono, aux, inputs. Don't want to spend much for this old 3rd system in the house.

I use this on my office system at work and it's fine. With bluetooth you can control it from across the room and don't have to mess with cables. The one I have plugs directly into an AC outlet and has rca cables that go to the aux input on an integrated amp. I don't see the one I have on Amazon anymore but there are plenty of inexpensive options.

I agree with you on that. I ended up connecting via just a $4.00 RCA to 3.5 cable into the iPhone and into the tape section of receiver as CD player was already on aux. The receiver was built before CD players. Works well. Research suggested the signal quality via cable was better than cheap Bluetooth, even though I lose the convenience of having the phone anywhere I want in the room.
