It doesn't sound like a Philco to me, the beam of light changer was a product of the early 1940s but all of the radios from this period have rectangular dials, some have pushbuttons but they are in a row, and they do know have a vernier tuning knob. These sets also had the phonograph hidden behind a tilt out panel, sometimes in a drawer, but never under a lift up lid. It's possible that it may have been an earlier radio phono combo unit but the only Philcos with a truly round orange dial are ones with the concentric tuning mechanism like a 38-4 or a 38-7, the 37 and 38-116s and the other higher end Philcos had a large peek hole with a telephone type dial below on the console models.
