Several month ago, I bought a KLH Model 21 FM radio on Craigslist for something like $60 or $80. It worked fine but was in terrible cosmetic condition. So I restored it, and now am ready to sell it. I already have one of these, on the top of my fridge, so I don't need another K:H Model 21 FM radio. I just can't resist a good deal. How much do you think I should sell it for? Do you ever listen to music on the radio? This is thing is from 1968 or so, and sounds better than most modern radios.

@JudyEv I could put it on eBay, but I grew tired of shipping stuff a few years ago.

I would have no idea what to sell it for. I don't listen to the radio these days. I listen to Pandora or my playlist from Apple Music when I'm in the car or when I'm at home through my Amazon Echo (Alexa).

Is the sound pretty good? I can listen for hours to old radios.

@NJChicaa KLH Model 21s are best at moderate volume in the background. They're not "boom boxes."

@TheHorse I don't have any complaints but I'm also not blasting it at any very loud volume.

I don't have any ideas. You can try to check the shop online site such as Amazon, eBay, etc.

@TheHorse I hope it would be sold more than that amount.

If it were one of those magical radios that only played music from 1968 and before I’d buy it in a heartbeat. I don’t have a clue. Do you have any antique assessors near you? We have a place here that appraises things. Good luck with whatever you decide to do!

Heh, I'd say music before 1973. I want to be able to listen to early Warner Brothers Gordon Lightfoot and early John Prine.

@TheHorse — oh, ditto, and the Eagles’ Desperado (my favorite album of theirs) came out in ‘73.

Looks good and sounds good and if it is vintage perhaps you can get somewhere around $150

Yes I listen to the radio! That is how I get my music,its free. I can tell you the 8 best stations in my area for pop and rock. I have no idea how much to sell the vintage radio.

@andriaperry They can be for me as well. I've played music so long that rock, bluegrass and folk start to sound "all the same" to me after awhile.

I listen to the radio time by time and we have one old big radio, that I think is from the late 50's. I have no idea how much people are ready to pay for this. It seems that the young generations do not care for those vintage objects.

@TheHorse The young people finally have noticed that the vinyl records are a lot better than CDs and other electronic stuff to play music. When I said this 25 years ago people laughed at me.

Actually, there is a resurgence of interest in vinyl (records) among the young. I hope it extends to vintage gear to play those records.

I have no idea about the value, but if you have a good conversation, you can sell it.

@WiseGhots Maybe I'll list it on Craigslist this evening. I just got a call about my AR-2axs. I'm still trying to "thin the herd."
