" . . . the phono played 45's, which rules out the 49-1606."

A crash course on the history of the 45 rpm record:

J. Krivine, in his book, JUKEBOX SATURDAY NIGHT, assures us that Seeburg, ( the jukebox manufacturer), issued the FIRST commercially-produced jukebox totally dedicated to playing the new 45 rpm record, . . . . . . in 1949 !

It was the model M-100-B.

RCA had issued the 45 rpm record earlier that year, in response to Columbia's issuing of the the 33 rpm LP the previous year in 1948, and Seeburg took a full-fledged gamble on RCA's new format.

Some argue the 45 came even earlier , but I disregard all undocumented suggestion.

My point is, while I'm not sure your friend had a Philco 49-1606, she could have very well had a 1949 something, that played 45 rpm records.
