This one is like my first roundie. I still have mine. There's really no good reason to part it out, the sum of the parts is not equal to that of the whole.
You have an okay cabinet and all the front-panel knobs, and like Charles said, the jug may be good. This chassis runs quite well after replacing just the wax-dipped paper capacitors and the electrolytic capacitors. It could be electrically refurbished by you for $50-$75 if certain parts are still good. There's enough love of these and centuries of combined experience on this site to guide you through the restoration. Just don't plug it in (again), and be advised the chassis on these is somewhat connected to one side of the power line with an unpolarized cord. That's why the knobs are plastic! There are ways to mitigate this issue.
Don't expect more than $100 for this unless a nostalgia attack occurs.
