Your piece is marked on the back Electrical Products Co mfg ltd. I believe they are a Canadian based company.
We don't see too many of these where I am so, my best suggestion is to find a vintage dealer and find what they are worth in your town.
In general, there are a lot of factors here to set value--like is it all working? Is the case in good shape (yours looks like there are some condition issues). Does it have all original parts? Do you have the manual for it?
I have found with pieces like this, you sometimes are better selling it off for parts if all of the innards are working and can be tested.
People that have these items want to keep theirs going and are often willing to pay top dollar for tested equipment.
You may find it has some value where you are. I know similar pieces (different brands--like Zenith) of this particular top loading style are not what people want and where I am would sell for less than $25.
I dont have the manual and the plug wire is cracked and split so I cant test to see if it works unless I replace the plug wirr for it.
Since there are some challenges with this item, I do recommend you work with a professional reseller--someone with a vintage shop--to sell it. This way prospective buyers can look it over carefully, test it and NOT have to be traipsing in and out of your house to do so. You will split the value of the item, but it probably the best way to sell such a piece.
Post back how your sale goes!

The condition of the cabinet is damaged and filled with scratches. This will really take down the value of this piece. If the record player is still working and in good condition this will help. In your case the most you could sell this for is $25 to $50 tops.
You could get a better price with a collector,auction, or online sales!
