Help with my Philco!
#2

Hi

I would guess your stereo was made in the early 70s since it has a cassette player...something that was not common until then. Most console stereos of the mid sixties and later had 8-track players instead of cassette players.

I'm afraid your console stereo has no collectible value because of its age (not very old) and its construction (wood laminate and plastic). At the present time, I am not aware of anyone who is interested in these pieces.

That situation could change in the coming years...or not. One never can tell for sure.

Most of us in the radio collecting hobby really don't get into "what it is worth" questions because values are widely subjective, can vary from one part of the country to another, etc. It is commonly accepted among advanced collectors that a radio is, ultimately, worth as much as someone is willing to pay for it at a given time.

And I do not mean to be put-offish or sarcastic at all...I am merely giving you the facts as things currently stand.
