Silvertone 1720 Information
#5

Hi LisaC, welcome to the Phorum!!  Looks like its in nice shape but unless the electronics have been recently restored its best not to plug it in.  Capacitors and resistors are suspect after this many years.   As for value, unrestored, I'd say maybe $75 to $125.  What did you pay?  That's a good measure of value too! Others on here, may have a better/different read on value as well.  I agree its s nice looking radio.  If you are thinking of restoring the cabinet, use toning and clear lacquers....folks here can help you through it.  (If you want to paint it white and "antique it" or polyurethane it, you'll see lots of frowny faces here  Icon_cry
