It is definitely an interesting combination of features. Throughout the 50s a number of companies made 3-4 speed changer Am only table radio Phono combos, and I've seen a number of phonos designed for add on stereo speakers, once in a blue moon you will see provisions for a wired remote, but the three together is fairly unusual. Lack of FM is the thing that makes it odd because if it had FM it would be a solidly up market set.... the mail order companies like Sears are the only ones I could see making such a set...In a rural community far far away from the big cities ( where FM stations were primarily located back then) that could not get any FM stations the reduction in cost of ohmitting FM would have been a selling point. The cheap wired remote probably helped it further.
