What makes one worth more?

Fully working on every input, both channels, all lamps lit, is the baseline buyers expect at full price. Serviced or recapped units sell for more. Scratchy controls, dead lamps or one weak channel sell for less. Original knobs, faceplate and wood case condition matter: replacement parts and cracked veneer cut the price.

How to find out what yours is worth

Find the model number on the front panel or the back.
Check every function: both channels, every input, the lamps, and the tuner. Note anything scratchy or dead.
For a turntable, note which cartridge and stylus it has. A premium cartridge can be worth more than the deck.
Compare with recent sold prices for working units of the same model.

What moves the price

Fully working on every input, both channels, all lamps lit, is the baseline buyers expect at full price.
Serviced or recapped units sell for more. Scratchy controls, dead lamps or one weak channel sell for less.
Original knobs, faceplate and wood case condition matter: replacement parts and cracked veneer cut the price.
For turntables, the cartridge and stylus that come with it can change the price a lot. Say which one it has.
