The problem is that even though your set shows signs of life, unless the prospective buyer has a desire for that particular set or is new to the hobby, there really aren't many sets that hold a lower value. I try to stay away from all RCA B&W products from 1951-1955 or so because I'm familiar with the pitfalls of them.
I'd peg that one at a solid $75 as it sits, to the right person. Typically, $50. My fully restored 1961 Zenith, though, is probably worth $150 at best, even though I probably have $75 into it in parts. We restore them for the challenge, the admiration and appreciation of the genius that it took to build them, and the fact that it's good cheap entertainment. Plus they're fun to watch. Kinda like Sea Monkeys, we sit in front of them just to see what they'll do
What's your bottom line budget on a set?
