It's a seven tube AM/FM set, with phonograph, as is I wouldn't pay anymore then $15-30 on a good day, in decent condition with a good original finish. I think that it may be a transformerless design with a voltage doubler as the gallery says it has two selenium rectifiers. Although it probably is not a bad radio it has little collectable value, they take up too much space, and it's very seldom that one of these does not have a dead Rochelle salt phonograph cartridge.
