Questions about a 1937 Philco 610
#1

Hello everybody, my name is Mike, for the past 6 years I have lived with my grandma, and she just passed away in July at the ripe old age of 96, and now it is time for me to start clearing out the house.

This old radio was bought new by her parents back when they lived in the coal mining town of Renton, PA. Grandma would tell me that when they got this, they were the envy of everyone on their block, and all the kids would come over to listen to it.

She swore it still worked; I haven't tried plugging it in yet, I'm a bit scared to do so, lol, is there any reason I shouldn't just plug it in and try it out?

Could I get some opinions as to the value of this thing?

I appreciate any input, thank you. Here is a link to pics of it:
