At the end of the 1930's and in the early 1940's, some manufacturers put TV inputs on their radios, which were just renamed phono inputs, as some people hesitated buying a radio as they felt that TV was imminent. This assuaged them in thinking they were getting ready for TV. Some TV sets came out in metropolitan areas before The War, but most were full sets with audio sections and speakers. Then the War put a stop to all consumer radio-tv production until 1945-6, and by then the split unit idea died and TV's came out with full circuits and speakers. When you think about it, saving two tubes and a speaker wasn't going to make much difference in the price of a TV, anyway. This was basically a sales gimmick. You've got a phono input.
