I don't think the 151b is series string as suggested in the shout box.   I'm not certain, but I don't think so.   Your pic seems to show a separate mains trannie and OPT.   Though it could be a really heavy OPT and a coil.   The AC comes in right next to what I think is the power transformer.   A shot of the underside would verify this.

The turntable is likely not original as those came with a 78 only but were commonly upgraded as 33/45 took over the market.

Looks like it has the 16 RPM speed also.  I have never seen a 16 RPM record but I understand they were for recording "talk" shows.

The Magnavox is a Model 264C.  Here are pics of labels on underside.   Must be a mono player so I guess my quest to find a stereo tube amp continues.  Or maybe I should use two mono amps???

That model number is for the whole system.   The number I gave is for the amp.   It is stamped on your first pic.   That is the number you will use to find schematics, etc..   You may be able to use that number to determine if the table is original, but there is far less documentation on that number, if any.   

As far as two mono amps go, that is killer, but finding a second matching amp may take some time (or you may fall into one, you never know).

Hit up the estate sales, one will turn up.  Just don't buy it and keep it a console like I seem to keep doing.
