Back when I was doing radio repair for people, I had one of these sets cross my bench. Like you, the owner of the set I restored wanted the original 78 rpm changer replaced with something that would play LPs and 45s. I found a working BSR changer (one that actually used a magnetic cartridge!), cut a new mounting board for it, and installed it in the console cabinet. The owner was thrilled with the finished product, as she had no plans to play any 78s, only LPs and 45s - mainly LPs.
I know BSR is a low grade changer, but it seemed appropriate for the Philco, really. Plus, the client didn't want to spend a lot of $$$ for a changer. Since the BSR had a magnetic cartridge, it worked very well with the Philco's circuitry and its phono preamp since its original 78 rpm cartridge was magnetic also. I wired the cartridge (I think it was a Shure, it's been too many years now) to play in mono.
