1966 Philco Transistor Console
#1

I'm brand new to the Philco and vintage radio world.  I recently acquired this 1966 Philco console and am in need of guidance. 

I know it's a 1966 because I saw an identical one for sale on ebay. 
I know it's a trans because there are no tubes.

That's all I know.  THhere are two wires hanging down in the back that I don't know where they go.  I'd like to plug them in to the proper place.  Everything seems to work correctly, except the phono is a little slow.  I assume it needs a new belt.

I can supply higher res pics if needed

thanks,
Jack
