Looks like a nice unit. If you want to fix it up and keep it for your own enjoyment, fine. It is just about impossible to make any money on these units because there is an ample supply and little demand, although I don't know about this particular model. I doubt any antique dealer would offer more than $50, but if the tubes are good, they're worth more than the rest of the set.

There will be other opinions though.
