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)
Bob this was meant for you! Thanks!
Oh I have no plans to change the outward appearance. I fell in love with it just the way it is. I think it may have been restored because the woman I bought it from plugged it in and there was only a little bit of static. No other sound though. All the bulbs in the back had some light to them. I paid 135. Bob I'm guessing you agree with my assumption that it's a Silverstone 1720? Thanks for the help.
