Early 60s Magnivox Console

Cabinet in VERY good condition. Tube receiver, horn speakers. Looking to evaluate its value. Receiver turns on, but needs a bit of work with noisy volume control, etc.
Looking for a good home, or someone who can restore it to its glory days. Listened to many a baseball game on this as a child. Would be sorry to see it go, but like other things, don't have room to bring it in to my house. Pictures show dust and some dried flowers that sat on top and fell into it. It's actually quite clean. Just didn't have a way to clean it up for pics.

That's an ST-638 nor something very similar. There's a decent market for tube console stereos these days. They are easy to repair. I would put it on Craigslist as is, with lots of pix inside and out, and see if someone is interested. Don't expect a huge amount for it, maybe $200. But in the right hands it can be restored and enjoyed.
