Late 1950s Magnavox Console Stereo

[Captainclock]

Hello, about a year ago I had picked up at the local Goodwill for 50% off a late 1950s Magnavox Console Stereo (mono tuner, stereo record player.) But the only problem was that the amplifier had been stripped of its tubes (someone more than likely stole them out of the unit when it was on the floor in the store yet, either that or the previous owner decided to keep the tubes to sell on ebay to make money on them), and so I had stolen some 6BQ5s out of the back of an old Silvertone radio I had that someone gave me to use for parts and I had ordered the 6EU7 online and the 6CA4 I had laying around in my tube stash and once I got the tubes and got them installed I fired it up and sure enough it came on without any hum (although the tuner was dead).
So I took the unit apart and looked and sure enough it had all of its original Magnavox tubes in the tuner yet but none of them were lit so I took them all out and checked them in my tube tester and sure enough one of the tubes was dead (the 6BA6 if I remember correctly) which luckily I had several of those laying around in my tube stash that I could put into the tuner and I stuck a new tube in the radio and sure enough it was playing music though the radio and it sounded pretty good.

Of course the record player had a bad idler tire which needed to be replaced but its a nearly $40 part when you factor in that you need to send in the old one to Gary Stork over at the Voice of Music store and then the fact that the new part is $28 and then on top of that price the shipping costs to send the new one over (the cost to ship the old one over last I checked when I sent him the cylcer tire from an old 45 RPM changer that I restored for someone was about $6 and then the shipping for getting the new part is also about $6 it works it out to about roughly $40.)
And then on top of that I need a new cartridge for the record player so on top of the $40 that would be needed to get the idler tire, I would need to spend about $24 to get it a new cartridge as well so it would be pretty close to $55 dollars I would have to sink into the record player on this Magnavox to get it going properly which I don't have that kind of money right now because I currently don't have a job and my mom is wanting me get rid of some of my radios working or not even ones that can be made to work but since I probably wouldn't get to the magnavox's record player right away and my mom would probably freak if she heard how much it would cost to bring that record up to snuff again she would probably definitely want me to toss it to the curb which I don't want to do because its a perfectly good unit yet, and considering that its a Magnavox I'm sure I could get a decent amount of money out of the unit fixed up.

Currently I'm only into the unit $24 currently and ontop of that if I were to get the record player running with the new parts I would be into the unit for $88 which I figure I could possibly sell the unit for about $150-$200 I could still make a little profit off of the unit, although not a whole lot.
Anyways I would like some opinions on what they think of this unit and if I should try to hang onto it until I can afford to fix it up the rest of the way so I could sell it to someone who could appreciate the unit properly.
