I used to be very active in antique radio & TV restoration. The problem with the big consoles is that they’re so bulky, shipping them is prohibitively expensive, so it’s difficult to sell them to the large market of collectors out there. Consequently, you’d be lucky to get anything near a respectable price if you wanted to sell it. As a wild guess, you might get maybe $100-$300 for it if it’s in great condition, everything works, and someone is willing to come to you and get it. But don’t be surprised if you can’t get even that much, or even anything at all.
Our first TV was a Packard Bell, around 1954. Your console could date anywhere from the 1950s thru the 1960s. Maybe into the early 1970s, but probably older.
Followup: you might try an add on Antique Radio Classified. See the reference.
It certainly could be worth something to a collector, and there are many who do collect these old units.
You could check out E-bay, or Google, Classic TV collectors.
Check your local Library, to see if there are any recent catalogs, for vintage TVs etc. You may get some idea of the price.
As if you say, it’s all in good working condition, it could be worth a pretty penny to some collector.
Try listing it on E-Bay or Craig’s list, but put a cap on the selling price. At least once you have an idea, of how valuable it may be.
