I found these and some other items in the attic. Is there any value to them? The Trans-Oceanic plastic dial cover is cracked. It has the owners manual in perfect condition along with a diagram of the units layout. The record player looks clean but I don't think it works. I plugged it in and nothing happened.

Some interesting info regarding a transoceanic radio:
This radio is asking $300 on eBay, and is in better condition than yours www.ebay.com/
It's easy to tell from your comments and pictures that you probably have no idea what you may have so please be careful with these items until you check them out with a professional.
First - you need to place each item on a stand-alone table with NO clutter in the background (just a plain wall maybe).
Then; take several good pictures; front, top, sides and back (need good pictures of any names/numbers).
Pictures of item opened - you need a complete picture of opened item (set it on the floor) - no clutter!) also close-up of the inside showing any names or numbers.
These will be necessary if you want expert techs to be able to provide information on your items.
This is a good place to start:
