Help identifying

Welcome to the Phorum!

With the cabinet being custom it makes it harder to be certain about the radio and phono model numbers but it sure looks to me to be a 1940 vintage radio/phono. The radio dial bezel and as much of the phonograph that is visible seem to match up to a 1940 model 40-508P. See the gallery photos we have on it in the following link: https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1940a/#Model_40-508P That bezel style was used in some 1939 and 1940 models but the 1939 models had a white dial face and 1940 a dark face similar to what your photo looks like.

Assuming it the 40-508P it would not be stereo as it only has one speaker and while it was probably a very good, high end radio for the time I'm not sure it would hi-fi but then this might be somewhat of a subjective classification, others might disagree.

It also looks to me as though the radio and phonograph chassis have been taken completely out of the original cabinet and put into the custom cabinet.

The schematic for the 40-508P is here: https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20Book.pdf

and the schematic for the phonograph is here: https://philcoradio.com/library/download...20Book.pdf

Hope that helps.
