Yup.

but your chance of getting a Radio Shack clerk
who knows what you're talking about is pretty remote,
even if the company still sells any such thing.

Yup. Try

Dos any one know of such a thing and what is it called.

A microphone input expects much less signal than you get from a headphone
output. If the recorder has a "line input" jack, use that. If not, look
for an attenuating patchcord. They used to be pretty easy to find, but I
haven't needed one for years. You will also need to combine the stereo
pair to one channel. Radio shack used to sell these patchcords, but your
chance of getting a Radio Shack clerk who knows what you're talking about
is pretty remote, even if the company still sells any such thing.
