Help identify a Philco Record Player
#1

New here - be kind, please....

I've spent a good deal of the last couple of days searcing this forum and associated areas of the sight without any luck. I'm trying to find out the model umber of a Philco labeled record player that seemigly has no visible model number anywhere.

I have yet to learn how to post pics yetso I'm going to try and describe the player and hope someone can shed some light on it for me.

It's a record player only.
Low profile, Primarily grey in color and looks like plastic/bakelite.
Seems to be a 3 speed model.
Two raised Gold dials on the top front edges left and right.
Has a 45 RPM record stacker and an arm to steady stacked abums.
Rounded edges give it a 50's/60's look.
Philco label on the front center and the words "equipped with Diamond Needle" on the right front.

About the best I can do - couldn't find it in the "Gallery" here or anywhere on the internet.

any help would be appreciated....Thanks.

If it's a three speed phono, it was most likely made between 1950 and 1956.
