I've got an old Aiwa Reciever, probably dates back to the 70s or early
80s -
massive heavy aluminium front, needle tuner etc. Anyway, it's got a

strange connector on the back for the antenna - 3 holes in a row marked
"FM
Aerial". Any ideas on what I should be hooking up to it?

A FM aerial? :-)

I suppose it might be a combined 75 ohm/300 ohm connector. Try your
FM downlead into any pair of holes, see which work best! I suppose
it might be worth looking for a voltage on any of the holes first,
just in case it's some special arrangement for e.g. powering a
mast-head amplifier.

I've only got the boggo bit of wire with a connector on the end as
supplied with cheap mini systems and a proper RF connector aerial. Nothing
that'll go in the holes provided.

Do it the professional way, stick the wires in with matchsticks.
