Is that signal from the External Speaker output on the side? Or the 1/4" headphone jack on the front?

Neither will be at mic level, of course.
A machine of that vintage may require cleaning of either the jack contacts, switches, the switches inside the headphone jack, or the volume control. Those could all contribute to the intermittent operation.
Get an old-school single earphone for testing the machine's output before you start testing the adapter's operation.
