I got this from a friend, have no idea what the value is or the model and would like to learn more about it and possibly restore it

I can give you some information a little later today.It is a Deforest crosley.
I have the chassis of a very similar model and I can post some photos later today.
I do remember that the tuning indicator has a canvas belt which moves up and down and a
light behind it to show the stations.
I will post l photos later.

The model of the radio chassis is
11RA751 or 11DA751 The RA is rogers and the DA is Deforest crosley.
The schematics can be found in the link to Pacific TV. https://pacifictv.ca/schematics/rogers16-77data.pdf
It is a challenge if you have not worked on antique radios before.
All the capacitors need to be changed for a start.
Tubes checked, controls cleaned and the transformer should be checked before the radio is turned on.
Here are some photos of the one i have .

I did find some more photos of the tuning indicator with the new belt installed.It is a bit of a pain the do but works very good.
On your radio the indicator will be on the other side of the chassis.
I also am posting photos showing the underside of the chassis showing the capacitors [lg brown ones]. They have to be replaced.
