In my opinion its worth maybe 100. Especially in upstate NY. Tube consoles are more plentiful there and tend to go for less. Man I have picked up some nice ones in the Syracuse area.
The fact that its German makes it worth a little more. They are more sought after for looks. I know in Florida the German consoles usually fetch a little more money.
Personally I wouldnt pick up that one because it looks to be mono. Maybe you are into that but I am not. Also they are a pain to work on. Everything is packed in tight. I have had Grundig, Saba, and Braun consoles and they are the same. Low powered amps using EL95 tubes. Tight chassis with amp,preamp, and tuner all in one. The most I paid for one was the Braun. Got it for 60 bucks at an estate sale. When I sold it I only got 100 for it. And that was from a guy out of state who restores German consoles.
It probably does have a few Telefunken 12ax7 tubes in it. I know my Grundig did. I put some cheap GE tubes in to replace those and put the Telefunkens in my personal stash
