I have looked at this a dozen times today. I am intimately familiar with far too much in this thread. But this one has me stumped..... Is this like a home of the future exhibit from the 1960 worlds fair or something?

These were available to purchase starting in the mid 1960s from Nutone.

There was a record player built into the wall in my high school cafeteria similar to this that kids would play albums on during lunch back in the early 1970s.

Here are some more photos of that type of system

The house I live in was built in 1963 and had a NuTone intercom system. Most of it had been removed, but there were some pieces/parts that remained. I remember systems installed in the houses’ of my friends that had the radio, but I never saw one that had a record changer or reel to reel tape deck installed.
