Yes.

The word phono is an abbreviation of the word phonograph, because this
connector was originally created to allow the connection of a
phonograph turntable to a radio receiver, utilizing the radio as an
amplifier. This setup was present in most radios manufactured in the
1930s onward by the Radio Corporation of America (RCA).
