Late 1940s Admiral Bakelite Tabletop TV For Sale Locally

[vortalexfan]

Hello, I was browsing through facebook market place this afternoon and I came across an old Admiral Bakelite TV Set from the late 1940s, for sale that appears to be in near mint condition except for a dry rotted cord (it even still has the channel indicator bezel intact which is usually missing on this particular set.

see the link below for the pictures and description of the TV in question.

My question is, the owner of the set wants $85 firm for the TV, and she wont budge from that price, is that a reasonable price for that set and should I go get that set as a restoration project?

Thanks for your help in this matter.
