Information about your set:
www.radiomuseum.org/.../zenith_g884_ch8g20.html

Good condition?
Are all components working properly?
Does it need parts/work?
Cosmetic condition?
These are the things a buyer wants to know about one of these systems.
Most of the systems advertised for sale online need some sort of work/repairs.

I did not find any sold systems and as you can see for listings, a seller can ask any price for their items but only a sold item can offer any type of value.
Consoles are very hard to sell as the market is probably in the bottom 3% of items buyers are looking for.
Location is what will determine your final value along with the working condition.

Some areas may be okay, but the majority may have trouble getting someone to pick one up for free.

Examples of for-sale listings:
These two listings have been listed for sale for over 2 years and have not sold:
Asking $179

Asking $575:
www.ebay.com/.../293800264547?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid...

This seller is asking $2,200.
this set has been listed for sale for over 4 years and has not sold:
www.ebay.com/.../253833269589

You can always try listing your set with several good pictures and a very good description on sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and other local sites. Start your price higher, best offers, and local pick up. Leave it listed for several weeks and if no offers lower the price and wait again. This is how you can 'test' your local market.

This is a Zenith Floor model H1086R Tube Console Radio Phonograph Combo. This console was made in 1949 by Zenith Radio Corp., Chicago, IL.

Here is the schematic of Zenith Radio Corp. H1086R:

and SAMS Photofact of Zenith H1086R:

Usually such tube consoles cost about $125-150, maybe $200, but consoles are worth what someone will pay, as are any other consoles. It's about finding the right buyer.

I found a similar vintage Zenith Floor model H1086R Tube Console Radio Phonograph Combo at $150:

Another Zenith Floor Model H1086R Tube Console Radio Phonograph Combo is listed at $575:

Another Zenith record player/radio at $125, it works, but needs a new belt:

Zenith Cobra-Matic Radio/Record Player Console with working phonograph was listed at $99

This similar Zenith console was sold for $225:

www.icollector.com/Vintage-Zenith-Cobra-Matic-Model...

and this one was sold at $249.99

The price depends on the demand in your area, since shipping is expensive, they are usually sold with local pickup only.
