Here's a ``quick and dirty'' one:

neutral---------------------------------------------
				|		   |
			control (phono)		load (amp)
				|		   |
				|		  ___
				|		  /\/ T1
				|		  ---
				|		  /|
				|	   R1	 / |
				|________/\/\/\_/  |
				|	|	   |
				v	_	   |
				-	^	   |
			D1-D4	v	_	   |
				-	^	   |
				|	|	   |
live------------------------------------------------

R1 	100 ohm (?)
D1-D4	1N4001
T1	Triac, sensitive gate, > 2 * load current, 200V.

Load voltage is somewhat dirty sine wave; an .1uF/200V capacitor
across the triac is recommended.  Phono current should be < .7A AC.

Enjoy!
