Yes, you can disconnect the phonograph in order to get the radio functioning and then reconnect the phonograph to work on it. Mark the wires or make a diagram before you unsolder them so you know where they go. You'll find a lot of crumbling rubber coated wire in a rather cramped chassis on these pre-war AA5 Philco's so take your time and replace / re-sleeve them.

is there a source or substitute for the rubber on the friction drive for the turntable?

Yes, try www.TheVoiceofMusic.com. They not only have new idler wheels, but also new cartridges that work great. I use the P51-3 Ceramic mono cartridge with 3 mil sapphire needle fior 78 rpm records
