Your r/p looks like this ebay completed item number 220121730446. Lots of good pictures there. I notice the seller didn't give the model number. And as I recall I have always found these to have clear indications on model and chassis numbers...or maybe I'm thinking different brand. It looks to be early 60's. You may could remove a panel and the model number will be shown. Motorola is good stuff.
Thank you.

I can shoot myself for not seeing that Motorola up for bid! Thank you for guiding me to it. You see, the picture I posted is not mine. It is also up for bid on ebay, but there are no speakers and it looks really dirty. The reason why I posted it was because this record player happens to be the same exact one my mother had in the 1960's, except in a silver blue color. I have been trying to find this model for many years now and I finally know that it is a Motorola! I have been searching and searching on ebay almost everyday now for the past couple of years! I don't know how I missed that one up for bid!!!! I really want it. I emailed the seller and the bidder that won it to see if they could possibly re-sell it to me.
Thanks so much again for solving my big mystery about my mother's old phonograph!!!!

Looks like mid to lat 1950s, or early 1960s. Does it have a stereo cartridge?

In that case, it has to be 1958 or later.
