I have a console stereo record player. It says that it plays a (45' to a 18'?). It is a Westinghouse stereophonics phono only HF 1050. It doesn't run. Who buys and restores these?

Who buys and restores these?
Probably only true 'buffs' and collectors who are not always easy to find and since these consoles are very expensive to ship, it would need to be someone in your area.

Selling a non-working machine will probably be difficult but you can always try.
List it with several pictures on several sites like Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, letgo, offerup and start your price high and maybe also best offer with 'local pick up only' and be sure to state not working - parts only.
Just lower the price if no one makes an offer.
Where are you located? With more info, I may be able to offer you some suggestions.
Normally you would sell this item for parts only. One good place to start is on an old radio/stereo forum. There are still a lot of people who love to restore these old stereos because they still can find old records to play on them. There are also a lot of people who just love the sound of records and have a large collection of them. If you are looking to sell this there is a possibility that you can list this on a stereo forum that deals with older model stereos and restoring them or even on eBay.
