Most sets that age need some work to function properly.

If it's a tube based model as the caption on the pic indicates then you should have no trouble selling it. I'd say its worth, not knowing CRT condition, between 35-150$ depending on physical condition and who in the area wants it. If you were closer to Chicago I'd probably be tempted to make you and offer.

If it has a significant amount of sentimental value to you then you may want to consider getting it fixed and keeping it. Not many repair shops will touch them or do a good job, but there are a decent number of hobbyists around who would be able to do it. On tube based TVs the rarer parts tend to be less failure prone, however near annual repair work is needed if used as regularly as a modern set would be.

Please don't trash or recycle that set. Heathkit TVs that old are somewhat rare.
