Hi
Since you are seeking a value for your set and this is not an actual "for sale" ad, I moved the thread to Philco Home Radios where it will (hopefully) attract more attention and replies. I am also deleting your other, identical thread in Items for Sale Online since the rules prohibit starting multiple threads on the same subject.
I'll let others comment on the value of your set, but if the new owner wants to keep the radio as a permanent part of the home, I hope you can work it out so that they can do so.
Shipping a console radio the right way, if you are not set up to properly package a console radio, is very expensive but it can be done. I won't even mention how much $$$ Craters and Freighters charged me to have my Scott Philharmonic shipped from Kansas to Indiana.
And then I had to have it shipped to a business with a loading dock. Fortunately, the place where I work has one, and I have understanding bosses who not only allowed the radio to be shipped to work, but also let me borrow a truck to take it home. 
Now, shipping an E.H. Scott Philharmonic is one thing; shipping a Philco 41-300 is another. Not very many people would be willing to spend several hundred dollars to ship a radio that is not a really valuable set like yours. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's just the realities of the collecting world. Again, it would probably be best if the radio can stay with the house if the new owners really want it.
Good luck!
