I have a very similar Capehart console radio. I know it to be a 1949, in sams 64-3. But I notice a few differences, so it must not be the exact same model. There are 2 tube sockets that are on the back of your chassis, that just have blank covers on mine. Where the two missing tubes are on yours, is where the one 6V6 output tube is on mine, and one of the blanks. So I would guess that yours uses 2 6v6s instead of 1. I don't have a guess for what that extra tube in the back right corner is though. The smaller chassis that goes with it is the phono preamp. The speaker plugs into the rightmost plug on the back edge of the radio chassis, but on mine atleast the output transformer is mounted to the speaker, not attached to the chassis. (and no good, which is why the chassis has been sitting in a box in the closet for years)
