I would say a complete decent example of Philco's first publicly available production TV should be valued around $350-$400. They're one of the most unique early televisions and not easy to find in good condition. I must say though, if you want an early working set to enjoy, pass on these early Philco's. As much as I loved the looks of my 1000, I parted with it because the audio was very finicky, if I could get any at all, and I like my sets working well.
Also, recapping the chassis is quite a chore. My repairman told me he needed a drink after he was done! Unless you can do it yourself, repairs will be fairly costly.
