I believe that is one of the early Works-In-a-Drawer solid state sets. Value depends greatly on a number of things. Location is a critical factor...If you are too far from any collector or collectors you may not be able to give it away (consoles are too big to be worth shipping, and few want to drive far to pickup one). The condition of the CRT and flyback transformer are also important...Both are not cheap or easy to find (and often cost as much as getting another whole set)....If the screen lights when powered on (don't power it on unless you know it has been safely run in the last 5 years lest you risk damaging things) the CRT and flyback are probably fine. Most of the other variables of condition look okay to me.
If you are near a large collector population center like Chicago or parts of the east coast and the screen lights it is probably worth between 40-150$ depending on who is interested, 0-50$ if the screen does not light....Start low unless you are prepared to sit on the set for a long time.

These sets are somewhat desirable, but also still somewhat common so not high value yet.

If I had room left (I don't) I'd be somewhat interested. Despite the lower collector value I'd prefer a last gasp WID set to an early one like yours since my folks had one when I was a kid in the early 90's.

Early Quasar set. note how high the AC cord goes in.
IIRC these did have a HV rectifier tube that went often.
I will leave the value to others but its not much.

turn it on and move your arm across the picture tube. If you do not have static electricity on the hair of your arm, you most likely have a high voltage problem.
