Vintage cabinet I.D.

My son in law has this vintage radio console. When he was younger it still had the original tube radio, but someone in the family gutted the cabinet and installed a dummy plate and knobs.
He is looking for information on this console as it has sentimental value. Even if he can't restore it to original, he is contemplating on modifying it with a vintage receiver.
I have done searches for Phillips, Fisher, and Curtis Mathis but can't find an "as-like".
If anyone happens to know (Mr.H *cough *cough) what this radio originally was, would appreciate the info.
Thanks
Ron

Hell, grab that unit from the Etsy site for the phonograph. it's in the DFW area

... and I had absolutely no clue what it was :-P

I knew it was too archaic for the 60's, other than that no clue.The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact. -

I'm surprised its early 50's, would have thought at least late 50's.Vinyl, the final frontier...

A lot of work for restore but thinking if the dimensions are right may slide one of these in it. My daughter graduates from college next weekend and he walked last December and they are getting there own apt this month. Till they married next October.
