Radio? Sure looks like a turntable for records.

 

Oh it does play 78 records....so yeah I believe so..thanks..I don't know anything and my Dad is having me inquire..

 

That label says STROMBERG CARLSON.....Does NOT say if it's a turntable OR a Radio!! So, guess, what!?? M'Lady says it's BOTH....more for your money!!! And helping her out!!!!

AND I almost forgot....Hi and WELCOME to ANTIQUERS, @marialeyva1984!!!

 

I don't know what the cabinet looks like, but based on the "label" Aqutaine has shown "blown up" above, I would venture to say 1930's-1940's.

Here's a bit of info on the company:
...In 1926, Stromberg-Carlson became the first manufacturer to merge phonograph and radio technology by incorporating a phonograph jack into its radio chassis. By the end of the decade, Stromberg-Carlson sold sets with fully integrated radio and turntable technologies, and the company’s radio sales surpassed that of its telephones.
...The 1930s represented boom years for Stromberg-Carlson’s radio development, as it introduced new modifications like automatic volume control, improved amplifying methods, and an early push-button tuning mechanism.
.... After the company’s merger with General Dynamics in 1955, the business was restructured to focus production on telephone products, and its radios were discontinued.

edited to add:
I see that you also have a couple of photos in the GALLERY.
The booklet shown there indicates a model 935 radio. Googling that info indicates it is a "pre-war" (WWII) radio model.

 

Thanks! And yes I believe it's both..the more you guys mention then my Dad agrees it's too funny

 

It is all coming back to him. And welcome, Maria.
