Last night I purchased a Philco TV/radio cabinet in very good condition off of Craigslist (pictures are attached).  Can anyone give me information regarding the approximate date of this piece?  Also, the speakers are still in the cabinet despite everything else having been removed prior to my purchasing...I'd like to know how, if possible, can I still use the speakers by connecting my iPod / iPhone.  Any information and help is sincerely appreciated.  Thanks, Misty

Take a look around inside the cabinet and see if you can find a tag with the model number on it. if it is old than 1954 the first two digits of the model number is the year of manufacture. 1954 and later it will start with a letter Tell the letter and I can tell you the year in was made.
Welcome!!!
