Vintage Lloyd's console stereo

[aob]

Hey everyone! My aunt is moving and trying to sell off a lot of her things. She's has my grandmothers old stereo cabinet and asked if I had any idea what is was worth. I have no clue so I thought I would ask you fine people if you have any idea what something like this might go for these days.
Thanks a lot in advance if you have any information.

While there are some console stereos that are worth some money, this is not one of them. Lloyds were cheaply built late consoles that used very low-quality components. Even the cabinets were mostly plastic and particle board. I am an antique dealer, and I do sell Magnavox and Zenith consoles from time to time. I nice one that has been serviced will go for $300.00. This model I would not want, but I would say it has value to someone out there. I would say $25.00 to $40.00 tops, if it does work. Try the FB Marketplace.

Lloyds

There's a name from the past! We had a tabletop radio that was Lloyds.

Oh wow really? That little ? I would have thought much more than that. It seems to be solid wood and the sound quality was actually pretty good. Oh well. Thanks for the information.

What Rick said above. There's little to no market for them now and while you will see ads on Marketplace or Kijiji they probably don't sell. They fall into the same category now as electric organs and real piano's which most people are listing for free just to get them out of their house without having to lift them.

might be halfway decent for what it is...

Looks like it may be from around 1974,old enough that the radio chassis is most likely made in japan instead of lower grade Taiwan or HongKong like a slightly later one would be The BSR turntable is the best part,and should have a bit of oil applied to the platter bearing.~ $50 is a good asking price if it mostly works-bad belt on the 8-track player should be expected.

Loydd's was

a budget brand sold by K Mart, etc. Comparable to Olympic, or Soundesign.

lower end console...

for sure. Free to $50 max, little to no demand for these. MCM design cabinets in better makes and models are more desirable and even those aren't in as much demand as components mainly due to the space consumption issue.

here's a similar one

on local CL. for $25. They may have trouble moving it even at that price:
