Default Rogers Cadet III modifying pick up adapter for magnetic cartridge

I have a Rogers Cadet III amplifier and have recently got hold of a
Thorens TD 160 turntable that I would like to try with it. The Cadet
only has a pick up adapter for a ceramic cartridge, I want to try and
modify it for use with a magnetic cartridge.

I have a copy of the circuit diagram for the control unit but it doesn't
include the pick up adapters.

I've taken a picture of the adapter in the hope someone might be able to
advise how to alter it for a magnetic cartridge, and uploaded the
control unit diagram + description of the magnetic cartridge adapter
from the manual:

I notice the magnetic adapter is supposed to be RIAA, I'm not sure how
important that is, or what additional circuitry it would require.

Thanks for any help
Tom
