The third picture in this link looks like it.
As far as worth. I guess it's how well you like it. I don't know if that one uses 45 output tubes.
If it does and the ones in it are okay that's good, if not and you have to buy some not good due to the price of 45 tubes.

It is a version of the RCA Victor Talking Machine such as the R-32 with Synchronous tuning.

Cool tuner, but not too valuable ~$50 but the tubes could be worth more.

Used ST style #45s are not as valuable as one would think, more then the #26s and #27s in the rest of the set of course. However I have heard of people substituting 1619 tubes for them, which is a WW2 vintage 2.5 volt 6L6, when needed. If the set is complete, meaning the original phonograph is still intact with it's tone arm, then it's probably worth the $55 if you like it, bring a friend (or two), a tool kit, an an appliance dolly, because those sets are heavy.
