I had tubes and didn't even know it

sandworms

removed this intercom/radio from my 1950's house the other day, I was tired of looking at the antique I never used. well maybe I'm crazy but this thing has tubes, and now I'm wondering if it has any value. The OL is having a garage sale this week, and I think I'll put it out, but have no idea how much it's worth, if anything. what say ye?

It doesn't have a lot of tubes, is there more somewhere else? The tubes themselves are probably on the real value, depending on what they are / where they were made.

I've pulled a couple radios like that out of houses, and there is usually another amp used to run the other zones. Do you have old extension speakers in different rooms? Looks like a 5 zone system. Sometimes each speaker had it's own small amp that was turned on via the master unit.

Personally, I think it's neat, I'd clean it up, get some vintage knobs, and leave it there.

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply Russman, sorry for the delay, it's been hectic here. The receiver is the only amped portion, all the speakers are w/o amps. Unfortunately, I have already removed all the speakers and head, and dry walled the holes, so I must say it's either sell it or give it away. I don't want to throw it out, I'm sure someone would use it in some form. I f you need more info on it or have an interest let me know
