The 511 is still tough to find, especially if the original paint is in decent condition.
The set above it is an AR-812 Radiola, circa 1924. It was the first mass produced superhet. Not exactly rare, but uncommon enough and unique-looking enough to be popular. Check it to see if all six UV-199 tubes are there.
Not sure what is on top. I would call it "a drab black box with dials of some kind."
The utility of making the trip is purely a personal decision. One who collects catalins or ham gear would probably say no. Someone like me would probably go, not only to consider the sets in the photo, but also in hope that there might be more neat stuff there. (FYI I already have 2-AR 812s here, but would still go.)
