Help identifying
#1

Greetings all,
I'm an editor penning captions for a book on mid-century architecture and seek to identify this console in a home, the Van Sicklen house, from 1952. Critically, the architect was known for designing built-in furniture and cabinetry that meshed seamlessly with the room and did not call attention to itself. Therefore, although to my knowledge, many console units from this era were encased in cabinets like this, I believe—and need to confirm—if this unit has been modified to exist within custom cabinetry. I must learn:

1. The specific make and model (I believe I see "PHILCO" on the tone arm when zoomed way in)
2. Is all of the original cabinet not visible and this is entirely a custom built-in; or, has surrounding word work been made to match and blend with the unit, but it's the unit's wood work/cabinet that we see on the outside?
3. Year 
4. I believe this is on the cusp of the Hi-Fi era, so can the unit be referred to as a "Hi-Fi console"?
5. Stereo yet? Separate woofer and tweeter yet?

Any assistance, greatly appreciated.
