Some people will buy a non-working tube radio for looks/as a conversation piece. Sometimes a fellow collector who is a better tech or knows a trick you don't will buy your failed project and get it working right......Either way selling it non-working exponentially increases the chances it will live on/again over just recycling it.

As for the rectifier i the Grundig....Google "Bridge rectifier", or "diode bridge" they make single piece modern ones labeled the same, or you could just wire up four conventional diodes and have the same thing....

If I knew you wanted to flip the Philco I'd probably told you to think twice since most pre-HiFi consoles are hard to sell RESTORED at the low prices most ask for un-restored examples.
