RCA New Vista Console - Date? Pricing?

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, but any help/information would be greatly appreciated. My grandma recently gave me my grandpa's old RCA stereo console. It's been very well taken care of and could probably get working again with a few tweaks, but I know next to nothing about what I'm dealing with.

This is the info I got off of the back:
RCA Victor New Vista Victrola
Serial #3132
Model #5267
Some other number that was hard to read - VQT 541 - or maybe VQT 54F?

The radio says it's solid state - 800 maybe?

Here is a link to a hi res photo: http://www.flickr.com/photos/77313766@N06/6938375732/

Any information about the year it was made, pricing, and any mechanical issues that typically pop up with this model would be appreciated.

The Q in the model number doesn't sound right. It looks like a 1967
or 1968 midline model in colonial maple. It should have the 15 inch oval
woofers with midrange horns and cone tweeters. The original cost of
this model was around $450.00.

The amp and tuner will need to be recapped and the record changer will need
to be cleaned and relubed, possibly new idler wheel and motor mounts.
