However, the recent retro boom, has changed things to the extent that ridiculous prices can now be asked on e-bay etc The tape recorder might help but it's very unlikely to be in a good state by now. I'd be more interested in whether there are any vintage recordings on the tapes themselves? Is anything written on the boxes? That hasn't any effect on value though. I'm sure you will get a variety of answers to your question but don't expect too much.

Thank you Dave, not sure what's on the tapes as I have nothing to play them on unless I refurb the whole thing, there's no writing on the boxes so audio is unknown, I paid £25 for the radiogram so I guess that wasn't too bad and I'd be lucky to get my money back by the sounds of it, thanks again for your reply ;-)
