Those old console stereos usually have turntables with idler wheels and ceramic cartridges. They aren't hifi or even midfi for that matter, but they're aces and spades on nostalgia. If you restore it nicely and make sure it works well, it's a conversation piece you can be proud of. Turn it on from time to time and think how many years it has played music and news for your grandfather, and let the years of memories stay with your mom. That's the real value.
