As far as I know, only GE made a flip-down phono. Magnavox combos did come with a very similar cabinet style, with exposed radio face, etc., but their phonos were in drawers or top lift-lids. Can you remember the phono design; was it a VM with two identical-looking controls; speed at left front corner and on-reject at right front? If it was a Magnavox, it should have had all phono functions in one big knob affair at the right front corner. Also, the GE record holding arm had a big rectangular hole which fit over the spindle to balance the records, whereas the Magnavox had a 2-prong curved fork which swung around the spindle. ***I believe the Garrard turntable shown in the photo above is not the original.
