Help on id a new to me philco!
#1

So my wife and I have been looking for an older record player and came across one today we couldn't pass up. What i have gotten off my hours of research is that i have a add on tuner that is model number rt-300 and on the tag it has tp8-089. That number in my google'ing has got me no where, it needs a needle trying to nail down what it is to get the right one. Got it home cleaned out the spider webs and fired it up. Radio works great just need a needle. The lid it says philco stereophonic high fidelity.

Thanks in advance and awesome site!!!
