Motorola Model SP-29 3 Channel Suitcase Record Player
#1

Hello everyone, I was given a few years ago a 1962 Motorola Model SP-29 3 channel Suitcase Record Player that works with all of its original compnents yet (minus one tube which was original when I got it but was microphonic so I had to replace it with a NOS RCA tube). 

My question is, how rare is this record player and how much could this record player be sold for potentially? 

I ask this because I have scoured epay off and on over the past few years and I have yet to see another record player like mine for sale on there or that had sold on there, and I was curious as to whether or not this thing was a rare model? I have seen many console versions of my record player but not any other suitcase versions like mine.

What I do know about this model is that it was apparently the last tube model that Motorola made before switching over to Solid State in 1963.

See pictures below.
