It looks like you have a 1962 Zenith Console, model #ST1950T.
It is very difficult to place value on console because the final value usually depends on the location. Some locations may have followers and be interested while others would not stop to pick one up for free. These consoles are large and heavy and only a small portion of America will be interested. You could live in an up or down area.

"Generally, consoles are going to be worth nearly nothing to thousands of dollars. It all depends on the condition of the antique itself, the condition of the record player, the brand, design, and overall aesthetics as well as where it is located."

This site has information on your console:
www.radiomuseum.org/.../zenith_st1950t_1st_1950_t_ch_3k.html

There is really no way to provide very much information on value without knowing the overall condition and what is working.
You can check out similar sold consoles on eBay to see how people are listing their items as well as what types of pictures you would need if you listed it for sale.

You can also ask questions on forums but not too many will offer advice on value - too complicated. You cannot compare value with similar sold items and most sold consoles will be 'pick up only' and most likely will not be in your area.

This is Model ST1950T (it is written on the back of your console).

This model was made in the 60s (1962 thecodemachine.co.uk/.../Buy.php?manuf=%22zenith%22&model...).

This was a top-of-the-line piece in its day, built by hand in the USA with precision electronics, carefully selected speakers, and a heavy wooden console cabinet made to be a prominent piece of furniture in the home.

The price depends on the condition, on the demand in your area, since delivery is very expensive.

I found 1960s Zenith console stereo with walnut case, the estimated price of such a model is $ 25-1,000 www.liveauctioneers.com/.../22531102_1960s-zenith-console-stereo....

Another Vintage 1960's ZENITH STEREO CONSOLE is on sale for $ 500 www.ebay.com/.../253073652500.

Another Zenith mid 60s console stereo was sold for $175 www.varagesale.com/.../xs88pwv3-zenith-mid-60s-console-stereo

You do not write in what condition your Zenith is (whether it works well), so it is a little difficult to name the price.

These are worth in the $225 range, based on what I have seen on ebay.
