50-100$ if it had the knob. from a value standpoint itsa not worth but 5-10 missing the knobs but someone who wants to make a fishtank or something else out of it might pay a little more but antiques/collectables that are missing parts have verry little value , maybe someone wants to make something out of it for the steam punk fad thats going on.

The portholes are some of the most desireable to some tv collectors.The knobs do show up on ebay every so often.The tv market is down,I would ask 150$ for it. That set can be made to work again. If you decide to ruin it by re-purposing it,try not to hack it up to bad, try and save the guts,do not throw them away,if the picture tube is good,it could fetch a 100$
