Early 1950s Capehart AM/FM/Phono Console For Sale locally

[vortalexfan]

Hello everyone recently I visited a local fleamarket that has an early 1950s vintage AM/FM/Phono Console made by Capehart of Fort Wayne, Indiana (which is about an hour and twenty minutes southeast of where I live, and where my mom's mother's family is from originally).

The cabinet is in near mint condition and its even got its original manuals and antenna in an envelope in the back of the cabinet the guy selling it at the fleamarket said that the unit powers up but the radio doesn't work and the record player (which is a 4 speed record changer that was made by possibly Glaser-Steers or their own inhouse made changer as it doesn't look like your usual V-M changer) spins but not up to speed properly which might be an idler tire issue.

The owner wants $80 for the unit but would take less if it was bundled with other items, I was wondering if I should go get it or just pass on it.
It would be nice to own a piece of local history.

Any information would be appreciated.

Pictures of the unit in question posted below.
