I recently was given a Philco cabinet record player. I am trying to identify it and learn more about the player and it's history.  It is 16in wide and 59in long, it stands 31in tall. It has two doors on the front that slide open, showing a record player, slots for vinly,  and a FM/AM radio. Can anyone help tell me what I have?

Sets built between 1937 and 1953 have model numbers that start withe the last two digits of the year of manufacture. After 1953 the model starts with a letter. See Ron's info here http://www.philcoradio.com/age.htm
Cheers,
Bob
