The framework of the bottom does look to be of a similar vintage to the rest of the Graf, yet that piece of wood in the middle is much newer. It doesn't appear to have any sort of finish on it. If it's 'raw" wood it would be very faded if it was contemporary to the rest of the machine I would think.
I have passed the serial number around and am still waiting to hear anything. I do think rather than a "frankenphone" what you have there is a loving repair of a seriously damaged Grafonola. Someone put a lot of care into that. As such, in my opinion what you have there is a one of a kind example of a homemade rebuild. Hopefully I'll have more for you one way or the other soon.
