1953 Philips radio record player in cabinet - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have a 1953 Philips radio record player in cabinet. I can't get it to work and I have no idea what to do with it. Does anyone know how I can go about selling it to someone who restores.
Thank you

You could list it here under 'sets, parts etc offered' (read the conditions) or the obvious internet auction site.

A good start would be a model number, or a photograph or two.

What you are calling a "radio record player" is better known as a Radiogram when you list this for selling. Given its age from 1953, this will not normally be suitable for FM radio reception and for modern LP records, so I'm afraid the value is unlikely to be very high. If you provide the model number from the rear cover we can advise further.
