Hi Michael,
Parts for the radio show up from time to time on Ebay as some either keep the cabinet and repurpose it or discard the cabinet because of space. The guts and trim then usually ends up on there if your lucky. The good thing is that you have the two hardest to find pieces...the tv and radio chassis. The tv tube is a 10BP4A. There are two different changers that these had in them. One was a rare one with a metal tonearm with a clear plastic head on it and the other was a generic single pusher style changer with a bakelite tonearm. Both were 78rpm only changers. Best way to do the search is go to collectables and then to radio/tv/phonograph/phone. Look in the tv treasures topic on here and you'll find an auction that just ended on Ebay where it had the same identical tv just in a table model that you can use as reference. Farnsworth radio/phono combos are pretty common on Ebay and you should find something that resembles your radio and phono portion to use as reference and you can search from there. I've only seen one of these with the radio/phono and tv in one unit. If you have the space i think it would be worth restoring.
