Was given a cabinet stereo that has am radio and a turntable, but searches have turned up very little info. The am works, turntable doesn't. The tag on the front says Philharmonic Stereo High Fidelity, the writing on the am receiver has Stereophonic. There are even some schematic papers glued to the inside, but I haven't been able to get any usable info when I search. I want to see if I can get the whole thing back operational. Pics for your perusal...
Help with identification, please?

appears to be the same as this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/363555237035
I saw this when I entered into the search for more info, but it said Symphonic. Not sure if those names were interchangeable or not. The tube setup does look similar, though...

Ya, if no power transformer the chassis will he hot. One leg of the mains will be tied to it. You could get a pretty nasty shock. As for restoring that radio chassis,
All electrolytic caps should be replaced. The one big multi cap can can be replaced with individual caps underneath if there is room. It would most likely be cheaper than buying a new cap can. If your going to attempt to repair it yourself, DO be carefully with that hot chassis. I do like the console.

There usually are some identifiers on the back panel but I'm assuming you already checked that.
Pictures of the receiver in the cabinet will help might be able to ascertain based on if there is a logo of any sort
