Just found this early Emerson on Craigslist. Anyone have an idea how collectable it is?

The good pic is from the early TV museum. It's not a pic of the actual set. The second picture is the set. It's had to tell what shape it's in.

Is this the set from an estate sale several months ago in San Jose or Campbell? If so, I saw the set and it was in pretty rough shape. Probably salvageable, however. At that estate sale I noticed a Protelgram optics unit separate from the set, and I encouraged them to make sure that went with the Emerson projection set. I don't know if it was part of the set, or extra parts someone intended to use on the Emerson once upon a time.

I was the proud owner of the mahogany version (for all of one day) at the ETF meet. I couldn't fit it and the porthole which was electrically more complete. The left photo is what it looks like with the top (screen) open, it can also be closed.
