Nice Acquisition you have there.

Seeing the picture reminded me of my Father's "National" Panasonic Stereophonic Radio Gram, model SG-825 that he purchased in the late 60's - this thing has exactly the same style knobs as your radio.

It's main function was a MW-SW1 & SW2 radio that pulled in stations from all over the world. It ran on 6 D" size batteries and check this out - it had a built-in pull down, "BSR UA-50DC" Yes a British record changer (made in UK) that shared its amp and battery power.

It was a portable party machine with two 6" full range (off course), acoustic suspension speakers that neatly attached to the main radio at the sides and actually looked like a suitcase, once everything was in place.
Ready to transport anywhere!!! Only problem the LP records depending on how many you had, collectively weighed much more than the unit, itself.

Matsushita the parent company of Panasonic has been around for quite awhile.
