So far I have been unsuccessful finding out any info on this console, found this forum and thought I'd try to ask here. Any info would be good, thanks.

It's an early 60's entertainment center with the television chassis ripped out of it.
It will require a complete restoration of the remaining components before any use.

The Internet is a marvelous thing, however it's not a good substitute for actually being there.

Thanks for that info, any idea on the model/model number at all? Also, do you think it is worth restoring, or is there a good chance its played its last record?

Those "tube" consoles sound great once restored.
The "tv" area can be fitted with a smaller flat screen, or shelving, or simply blocked off.

The model numbers should be posted on some stickers on the back/inside the cabinet. I don't know if yours is completely tube, but I have one where the TV chassis had a gazillion tubes, but the amp/receiver is solid-state. I ripped out the TV and made a storage unit in that space.
I like the idea of mounting a flat screen TV in there because they have audio out jacks which would easily connect to the amp. You're basically left with the turntable and the audio portion so I would get those serviced. You should be able to find a date sticker on the receiver such as "chassis 10/65", and another sticker for the model number.
I'm completely gutting mine because I have a nicer cabinet and an AS-100 receiver and amp to use. I'll keep the turntable, but use that original low-powered amp for the garage or patio.
Rather than chopping up the cabinet, I'm gonna remove all the speaker panels, screen it in and make a brooder for raising baby chicks. The sliding tops will facilitate access to them. Nothing gone to waste. --BB

Chicken poop is rich in nitrogen and makes for some of the best fertilizer you can find and best used for composting. When done right, it actually turns into a rich, dark material like potting soil. --BB
