Much sought after, as there was recently an active trend to incorporate these with modern stereo systems and use them as a novelty.

 

Does it work?

 

I'd like to see proof of that....



my stereo speakers are 8 feet apart

and I see no way to access a tuner...

 

Not to my knowledge.

 

Might be a while,

Sothebys recently had a vintage radio sale in March 2021 and many radios in that auction sold for over 40,000, but as to a trend i have retract that, as I think the vintage radio is just as much a victim as brown furniture is, but because of this there is a new demand but perhaps the trend is more a destructive rip them apart and re use them to store wine type trend.

I note radio collectors are getting upset because people are buying very old vintage wooden radio's and ripping out the components to store wine and or a printer and router.

Browsing Ebay, I noticed mid century vintage radios command the highest selling price.

Overall, I cannot find credible evidence to support the trend i mentioned, but it was trending back in 2013 where there is a good few articles about vintage radios

 

What the radio might be worth.. might very well be inside the radio. Audio/radio vacuum bulbs seems to sell for very high prices. I think that Wooden frame is very good quality and there is a market out there.. as you can see from these recent sale's and your radio has all the components.
