Congratulations on your find! Looks like it has the original 78 rpm (only) changer, also.

One word of caution: The original "Dynamic" (magnetic) cartridges usually were damaged by people attempting to replace the original stylus with a steel needle. The steel needles are slightly larger in diameter than the original stylus, and forcing them up into the cartridge is all it takes to ruin the cartridge. This damage cannot be repaired.

You could replace the cartridge with a modern magnetic cartridge fitted with a 78 rpm stylus (still available), and wire the new cartridge for mono output, but you might have to play around with tracking weight to get it to work correctly.
