Philco 48-1000

Hi All,

I happened across a Philco 48-1000 today, like this one:

Pretty neat set. From the top the chassis looks unmolested. I'd say the cabinet is 8/10, all the knobs are there, the little door that covers the controls is there. Out of curiosity, what is a set like that worth? Taking a brief look it seems that there are usable 10BP4 CRT's out there, is that true? How tough are these sets to work on?

What do y'all think the set is worth? He didn't take the $50 I offered.

Thanks!
