1970’s portable TV - sell ?

I’ve got an old 1970’s portable TV. It’s quite small and an unusual shape.
Should I try to sell it, and where as it’s heavy, or shall I just take it to the tip ?
Not sure if these things are worth anything or not 🤔

Sell it. Put it on local Facebook selling or the like. There are people that’ll take it. The reason is that a lot of the old games consoles and computers don’t work on modern TVs.

The last time I used Facebook market I got some strange messages. People are weird !

Stick it on Gumtree then. But if it’s working don’t take it to the tip.

Have a look on ebay and see if anything similar is selling.

I’m sure it does work.

I sold a 25 year old TV on ebay for £120 (incl fees). Apparently there's a market for vintage TVs (retro gamers who want the full experience).

Put it up for sale as collection only.

Failing that offer it on Freecycle or Olio. I always try to sell or recycle, before I head to the tip.

I think the screen would be too small for gaming, it’s probably about 6’’ x 6’’.
But thanks, I’ll try and sell it.
I wonder if a retro museum would want it as it’s an unusual shape.
