I believe that these will not match the Line In on my PC

I think the signal may be too great and that it needs attenuating.

Am I right? Can this be done and how precisely may I achieve this. I
have no problem using a soldering iron

Is it worth copying LPs from a crappy old radiogram?
Especially as they will be worn out now after being
played on it.

If so, you could take an output from the top and bottom of
the volume control, which would be a better level and less
distorted than the speaker output.
Wherever you take the output from, check you don't have a live chassis.
