Audio Discussion > TUBES TUBES TUBES
Curious if these are worth anything?
ST-Rider:
My Dad has some old tube stuff.
First thing is a big tall Zenith console stereo. About 4-5 years ago he tried turning it on, and started to smoke so he turned it off....bad transformer maybe?
Second thing is an RCA portable. This one works.
Plus he said he has a whole box full of tubes...some still in the box.
No details on those as of yet.
Thoughts???
thanks

How funny. That is the third time this week I've seen that console radio. Someone posted one here (perhaps from a CL link, I can't recall for certain), then I saw one in much worse shape than yours (missing glass and scratches all over that pretty art deco face) down at CJs. They have it marked at $125. I don't know how they reached that price. Perhaps they heard about what that Leak set I bought was actually worth and now they think anything with tubes is a scroe.
The console is worth restoring if you are into that kind of thing, or flipping cheap locally to someone who is. The RCA looks small enough to throw it on eBay where perhaps it could bring some dough, I'm not sure. With the tubes, a list of what is there would be helpful. If any of them have metal bases and are used in audio, those can bring serious cash.

I know where I had just seen it. Two threads below where EN mis-labeled it a Sylvania. Maybe between the two of them you can get enough parts to make one working version.
