Hi all,

A friend asked me to sell some stuff for him. One item is this Philco 212 radio/phono. The phono disc changer is missing a bunch of parts. Cabinet wood is in decent condition, but needs to be refinished. I haven't plugged it in to see it anything lights up. I know nothing at all about old radios or tubes - is there anything I should know before I try turning it on? Can anyone offer any advice on how to sell a hulk like this in need of restoration and lots of parts? Or should I part it out?

trying to attach a photo, but in case I can't, here are all of them in an ImageShack album: http://imageshack.us/g/1/9992845/

Thanks,
David
