Admiral console radio-phono age query

Found a Craigslist ad from Charleston, SC with an Admiral console radio with record player. (no, no affiliation a'tall) This radio has AM and the 31m SW band (±9-10MHz). My grandmother had given my family one just like it around 1969 when we cleaned out her apartment storage area. It came with a replacement BSR Monarch four-speed changer. We later tossed the guts and turned the cabinet into firewood around 1973.

Is anyone able to tell me approximately when this was built? I'd love to know how old it is. Sorry for the pic but it's not mine; I brightened it up some. I never thought I'd see one of these ever again.

I'd say early '40's. Might possibly be from the immediate post-WWII era.

It's an Admiral (Canadian) 4206-C6, from 1941. I've got one in my living room. It used to work, although with a pronounced hum from the filter caps. The chassis has been sitting on a shelf in my shop waiting for a recap for the past couple years now. Sounded good when it worked; I never got as far as testing out the changer although it is original.
