Repairing/Selling tube radios?

[VintagePC]

Hi folks,
an off the wall question... what do most of you do with your repaired sets? Keep/sell/display?

It's fun to repair and work with these sets (I want to do more than one, and may even go on to a tube TV at some point) but to me there's not a lot of sense in putting money in to a set if it's just going to sit unused...

so generally, what is the resell market for working recapped/refinished sets? and do you break even/lose/make money on resale? I know you can't be specific for an area... to know for sure I'd test the waters with a cheap set.

Depending on the set you put about $20 of new caps in (if a lot of big filter caps, less if only one or two), maybe some resistors, and of course all of the cabinet /other work if it is in bad shape.
