wow, that would not be a good idea unless you know someone that can work on old TV's. 1st it should not be plugged in to test, even for a short time, as damage can result that is hard to fix. Second, you have no idea about the status of the CRT (picture tube) so if that is bad, it just gets more costly, lastly that era is FULL of paper caps that will need to be replaced, upping the cost in labor if you find someone willing to do the work. As far has how much to offer, those are hard to sell since the size and weight limits the market it can appeal to. If you are not going to learn to do the electronics work yourself (thereby keeping the resto cost down) then I would recommend a later era set, like a late 50's early 60's zenith, and not a combo but just a set.
Perhaps your post may find you a member here that has a working set that appeals to you.
