If the set is performing properly after the re-cap and alignment, you have a thunder generator on your hands. I've had mine going, without having been re-capped as yet, and it's impressive.
As far as the value goes, I'd want to see the refinish job before I'd hazard a value guess. Somehow, I'm sure that it doesn't resemble the original finish, and if so, not many buyers would want it.
It's like the old saying, you get what you pay for, and that the price of oats is less, after they've been through the horse.
Maybe the cabinet looks good, but I'll never put varnish on any radio cabinet and expect it to worth more than one done with lacquers.
