Well, Welcome to AK, why don't you take off yer shoes & set a spell? We'll get around to what yer tv's worth directly. First, on inspection, is it complete? DON'T succumb to temptation, plug it in, & "fire it up"-you may be doing exactly that. Some of the old components-capacitors, resistors, tubes may have gone south on you and could be DANGEROUS. Luckily, most are still available today, w/the possible exception of the CRT, or projection tube. THAT can be problematical. Unless you've worked on an old TV or radio, I'd STRONGLY suggest you get in contact to one of the several folks here who does that sort of work. You can screw yr new treasure up but good, or possibly kill yrself if you don't know what you're doing. As to what its worth, w/o seeing it there's really no way to make an accurate determination. I CAN tell you it was made in 1947-48, & is quite probably a rare byrd indeed. Hope this helps.-Sandy G.
