Nice score!
Glad you were able to get it, it actually looks VERY good.
Sears products have a habit of combining features from all over the place even to this day. The first item to ever bear the Silvertone name was a wind up phonograph back around 1915 or so..and it's hard to figure out WHO built it. Even the Sears history website doesn't say. Fairly cryptic markings seem to indicate they were built by Brunswick..but I haven't seen anyone ever confirm it.
So did it turn out the extra input jack was original too? I'm curious because I have a 1938 RCA Console that has a "Victrola" jack up inside the cabinet that is a factory original. I'm told that with the proper adapter plug, I could play an IPOD through it...but haven't tried it. So it's possible yours IS original.
