Philco-Ford radio console identification
#1

hi I was hoping somebody could help identify which model or a year my Philco radio record player cabinet is. I attached pictures of the unit. I could not find the model or build date. Thank you!

 My parents used to have a cabinet stereo almost identical to that one, except it was branded as a Silvertone rather then a Philco-Ford, and the control panel on the radio looked different, it was sort of a gloss black with vacuum plated chrome trim, and used rocker rather then slide switches. I think it's around 1972 vintage, at least that's when my parent's bought theirs, the cabinet was revered to as "Spanish Style", there may be more clues to the model number and exact date on the inside, their unit had a VM record changer which may have a date on it someplace. I don't think they are worth much, if that's something else you would like to know.
Regards
