Record player speaker converter?

Question

I have an old record player that I need to connect to a set of new speakers. To do this I need a cable that goes from the new speakers to the record player. The problem is that the port to plug them into is an older headphones port. Does anyone know where I can find a converter for this?

Answer 1

Radio Shack, Target or Wal-Mart. What is the size of the phone plug? 1/8 or 1/4, other? I made a simple connector with RCA splitter and 1/8 plug adapter which works with amplified speakers.

Answer 2

radioshack sells the convertors - "large" headphone jacks to "small" headphone jack.

It looks something like this:
