Just came across a 49-1615
#2

Hi Dan and welcome to the Phourm!
That's a tough question. I did take a look at that model and it seem to be one of Philco nicer sets. I think most here like doing the restoration work as a hobby. What it worth? Well you could find something like it on CL for $20-$100. Restored $100+ but the question is is anybody buying? I think if you go into it looking to make some money I doubt it will happen. If you like doing the work and don't mind putting $50 worth of parts in it then it's a match made in heaven. A lot of us just like to enjoy a good working set. But were an odd bunch!

ps Here's service info

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!
