First: you need the model number that is located on the back of this console. The year made will be somewhere between the late 1960s - 1970's so you can call this a vintage piece but no where an antique.
Vintage consoles of almost any brand are very slow sellers and due to the size/weight of these items they are usually listed as 'local pick up only'.
If you list it for sale you will need several good pictures and write a good description about the true condition (surface condition (looks a little beat up in the picture) and also does it work?
As to value: Current value is determined by finding a sold identical item as this shows what someone was willing to pay for that item. This is not always true with 'pick up only' items because of the difference in area 'value'.
This is a listing from 2016 (values have not changed very much) where a like or similar console sold for $5.

You can check some of the models on this site if you find your model number on the back of your machine. Apparently, Zenith liked this style cabinet as I have found 4 different model numbers in this style.
I found where a seller had one of these same consoles listed on eBay for sale for 8 1/2 years - priced at $129 and it never sold. Was this because of the area or price or condition? Who knows but it is not unusual.
You can decide for yourself what price to ask and give it some time to sell. You can always lower the price.
From what I have seen on eBay, I would ask in the $250 range.
This depends on working order, condition, location, to value the piece. Some areas of the U S may value lower than others . In it's current condition, it ranges from $150 to $250 if it works. If selling , do this locally with the buyer picking up . So much money saved that way. Here is a link that can help with appraising - https://www.justanswer.com - the help with antiques to pet care.
