This _/is/_ a '60's radio! It is a US version with a wider FM-band. 
Early versions consisted of two separate units, later versions were one 
unit. These radio's are very expensive nowadays, even when not working. 
The good news is that they are nearly always repairable and (replica) 
dial faces (which are often cracked because of ham-fisted fitting) can 
sometimes be sourced new.
The 5- or 6-pole DIN socket can be used for MP3/I-pod but you would need 
an adaptor cable with switch-over box to eliminate or bridge the by-pass 
in the plastic cap over the socket. These sockets were used for a car 
tape/cassette player or car gramophone. I still have one of the latter 
in my collection.
These old fashioned radio's have a low output, but you can hook up an 
extra (modern) amplifier to boost up to whatever you want.
