It's a fake but I see more reasons than that, as my Phasemaster IIB has 
a phone jack in that same location (it's the wide track model with the 
built-in VFO).   You can compare here:

It's odd that the image shows a knob where the jack should be, which is 
a pretty typical ham mod.

Look at the control markings - AI often messes up text and that's where 
you see nonsensical and duplicate labels.   As with Central Electronics 
rigs,  "USB" and "LSB" were not marked because it depended on which band 
you were on - the mode switch was instead marked "SB1" and "SB2".

The biggest flaw I see is under the logo - to my knowledge and per the 
reference books I checked, Lakeshore Industries was always in Manitowoc, 
WI  (hence the name).  The Lakeshore VFO I have just has the logo 
without any location.  You can zoom in on the above image to read the 
location and mode switch (which is why someone resorted to Dymo labels 
to keep track!)
