I don't want it, but if it has to go, you might be able to salvage quite a few tubes, the speaker, the power transformer, and as many tube sockets as you want to drill out rivets, clip off, and clean off. Just be carefull of the CRT, they are dangerous if they implode. Probably other components are not worth mining, other than a few pots and power resistors that are still in spec.

Some of those old sets also had very nice cabinets which could be re-worked into other uses.

There are those who would like to embark on a crusade to save yet another old set from the crusher. If it is pristene, don't ruch to a conslusion.

Others may be more optimistic.

The picture tube has gotten broken, the rest of the set as I remember is not in bad shape

IT's a Motorola and I'd say very restorable! I've manage to have my friend keep it out of the dumpster so far .
