Hi, my in-laws asked if I would sell their Philco 112 and Zenith 6-S-597 Broadcast/Shortwave/Phono cabinet radios for them. I've sold bikes I've restored online, but I'm a newbie with radios. HELP!

I'm looking for any help in determining a value for these wonderful old pieces. They are in great condition (please see the photos linked here below). I'm looking for any info or any offers actually.

I live in the Detroit area. Thanks for your time! Roy

Oops, newbie mistake - Console radios I believe is the correct term. I throw myself down in front of the Radiophile gods and beg forgiveness!

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out - which way did I come in? Hmm, bad jokes probably won't help my cause... so I'll stop. Happy Holidays!

To tell the truth, most antique radios have more intrinsic or nostalgic value than resale value. There are some collectables, but most radios and console systems are just cool to have. Anyway, if you're looking to sell something, you might want to list it in the Swap Meet section. That's the only place that "for sale" posts are allowed.

Thanks for the reply. My in-laws just sold their first item on ebay and are convinced they should sel the radios there. So if they don't sell on eBay, I'll try to convince them we should list them here or sell locally in an antique/consignment place. Thanks for your time. Happy Holidays!
