1950’s Sobell Radiogram (Monarch turntable) and spare Garrard RC 121 Mk2 turntable - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have a radiogram, which I was hoping to restore (I’m a complete amateur) and have not had time to do what I wanted and give my attention to it. Could somebody please tell me if this item is worth selling? It came with an additional turntable and has been sat in my living room for 2 years untouched. I know nothing about it value and would appreciate a little help. I paid £25 for it. Any advice would be appreciated...please be gentle with me!!

The Sobell Mono Radiogram is from mid 1955, being one of the first to have the then new FM waveband. The Garrard autochanger dates from c.1958 and has a non-original mat. Sorry, but these will have little value. Not knowing their working condition, these might fetch £20 to £40 and £6 to £10.
