I've been offered one of these, and wondering if there's much of a market for them? Item in question is an old Roberts.

As you can probably tell, I don't know much about them!

There is only a hobby market for most of them. There are dedicated shows for the dealers and fans: http://www.nvcf.org.uk/

Some valve audio is worth big money but valve radios are less useful. Unless it's in very good working order and is a particularly sought-after model, I can't imagine it's worth a huge amount.

Many are only useful as a source of parts for repair techs. If there are any old Mullard ECC83s in it, then - if they're still working - they are worth Ebaying on their own.
