DO NOT PLUG IT IN unless it's fully restored!!!
A 1942 Model 42-1013 radio-phono combo; AM, FM and SW. Fairly hard to find. Has the unique Beam-of-Light tonearm changer.
See Beam-of-Light section on my site. Note that on this pre-war set, the FM band is the older 42-50mHz. band before it was shifted to the current 88-108mHz band. There is no FM broadcasting in the 42-50mHz. region.
BTW, there should be a paper tag on the inside of the cabinet with the model number and possibly the rear apron of the chassis should also have a black ink-stamped model and code number as well.
Is the record changer missing? You don't show it pulled out in your picture series.
