So I was helping a friend clean out a storage unit of his late parents and for my help I could have whatever I wanted. Besides the few old dolls, plates, and some silverware I wrestled this heavy beast into my truck. It's in pretty good condition, I'll check soon if it works, but on the back it says it's a Delmonico (made in Italy) model #40SBR801 UX?
I've searched and searched, but haven't found anything around this time period made by Delmonico. It has a record player and stereo next to each other. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Your cabinet seems to be in good condition but pictures can fool you.
If any part is not working that will probably reduce the value by 1/3 to 1/2 as it will then be for parts in a nice mid-century cabinet.
How popular these are in your area will be a big factor as it is very costly to ship items like this.
Although there are several Delmonico consoles listed for sale, I did not see anything even similar to a cabinet like yours.
I believe you should make sure everything is in working order and then take some really good pictures; full front full back, sides, several of players (inside), so someone can see everything about this system.
State measurements - buyers do not take measure pictures..
Here is an example of fair pictures and descriptions.

Here are some sold listings on eBay but none to really compare with yours.
Please note there are also different Delmonico systems made in Germany.

You can take your pictures and ask for appraisals from some of these companies. Free appraisals will give you a lot of information about this system but only with good pictures and good description.

Maybe after you have more information you could list your console on Craigslist, Nextdoor, USA4Sale, or other sites where you can list it at whatever price you wish and lower it if no one shows an interest.
