The Amplifier and speaker look to be late 30s to early 40s vintage , wheras the cabinet looks to be 1920s vintage . I believe you've got a "Frankenphono" , something a handy hobbyist cobbled together as a fun project for himself . The cabinet looks like it was the kind of phono that had a manually wound spring for turning the platter and had non electric sound reproduction (a horn , maybe even formally mounted within the cabinet ) . The amp and speaker were likely seen as a vast improvement over the sound of the original system , and it was likely done long before it would have had any collector value . Speaking of which , since that's where a lot of these discussions go , it's only worth what someone would pay for it , and in the depressed market of today it's not really worth anything considering the updated internals .
