The Berkshire is a great find, I see you pointed to the Regency on my web site. It is a monster set, I don't believe there were other sets larger than the Berkshire line. The Regency tips the scales at 545 lbs, the Breakfront at 850 lbs. It took 4 BIG movers to bring mine into the house, hasn't moved since.
Because they are so big the market is very small. Prices range from next to nothing if you find one at a local auction to a couple thousand $ for a nice one on the collector market.
The radio/phono only units are the rarest in the Berkshire line with less than 100 of each model produced, about 250 of each TV model were made.

Hi Chuck, seems there are actually 4 Berkshire models within that range. There was a Secretary, Modern both of which had a radio and phonograph only and the Regency, and Breakfront which had in addition, a projection TV. See this:

I've performed a search on our grand site here and found the travails of the repair of one of these sets. The owner just e-mailed me and I'll finally get a chance to speak with him tomorrow. Why some people play these endless games of e-mail tag is beyond me, but I realize that that's just what it takes sometimes. C'est la vie.
