Hi Murf,
A couple of points. The filter caps are in the metal box w/tar. A little messy to replace but not hard. Paper caps are in the bakelite cases like the newer models, It may have a few tubular caps w/an internal resistor connected to it(#10 and 11). Again no big deal to replace. As with most old sets the rf coils, audio transformers and field coil are suspect. Have a look at the back of the chassis to if there's a large tube shield mounted a cross the back of the set. I'm not 100% sure but I think it's suppose to have one. If the dial doesn't turn it's a pitb to restring.
It came it several cabinet styles this may affect the price a little. If it's complete and someone hasn't pulled out the 45's out (there in the right front corner of the chassis looking from the back) I'd try to stay under $100. As you know older console are a bit tough to get rid of these days.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
