1958 Magnavox "stereo" hi fi

hi all, in 1980 I was given a Magnavox hi fi system. I'm trying to decide whether I want to restore it or sell it. I just moved into a tiny apt and ea speakers is 22" wide and 20" deep and I won't be able to turn up the volume, so I'm more included to sell it.
Does anyone know how much I might get for it?I have pictures but can someone tell me how to upload them to the site?

You can't directly upload pics you can upload them to a hosting site, I like Imgur. Also you said system but just mention speakers is there more?

One cabinet is only for record storage, the top lifts up on hinges and it will stay in an upright position. The other cabinet is on wheels and it houses a turntable and a radio, of course the tubes are under this one.  Each speaker has a 15" bass speaker, a 7" mid-range, and a 5" tweeter.. will try post pictures I've done it without an icon

If it works well, it might sell.  However, shipping those things is a nightmare.  Many times, people strip the amps out and sell just them.  My opinion on the speakers is pretty negative. Hook it up with more modern speakers and hear the difference.
I would not spend money to fix it up.  Finally, just because the speakers are large doesn't mean that it will play loudly and annoy the neighbors.  You've got 10 watts if you are lucky.
