Is this worth restoration?
#12

With no knobs, major electrical parts (speaker, transformers) in unknown condition, average condition cabinet, surface rust on chassis, it's a sub $50 radio usually, unless someone likes the cabinet style. With knobs up to $100. Restored who knows? It's a model 91, and although similar to a model 90 the tubes are all common 6.3 volt tubes, in untested condition, so there isn't any salvage value there, same with the power transformer. The 12'' speaker was mostly used in console models, so there isn't much value there, the 9'' ones are more in demand as that was what the cathedral version used. I think it's worth restoring to keep, but probably not for flipping.
