You write that you have a Mozart China Cabinet A555, but this model looks a little different. On this site you can see a photo of Mozart China Cabinet A555 and compare with your radio cabinet: www.radiomuseum.org/.../musicmast_a555.html

Mozart China Cabinet A555 does not have a record changer www.radiomuseum.org/.../a555_2409700.jpg.

You have a Mozart A555G by Music Masters Radio Co. This site has a photo of the A555G model (the owners decorated their model with stickers): www.radiomuseum.org/.../musicmast_a556g.html

The years of manufacture of the A555 and A555G models coincide, the A555G is a radiogram in a china cabinet too, but the A555G has a changer (3-speed record changer), and the price is correspondingly higher. Price in first year of sale was: Mozart China Cabinet A555 61.95 AUS £, Mozart A556G 94.50 AUS £.

I could not find the same model on sale. Vintage 1950s Garrard RC60/D16 Radiogram in a slightly similar cabinet, but completely wooden was sold for $2,900.00 USD www.pinterest.com/.../

Your radio console looks very nice. I think you can try to sell it for $700-800, but it's not easy to sell vintage radio consoles with high price. They are heavy and expensive to ship. Therefore, their price depends on the demand in your area.

I found this page. picclick.com/VINTAGE-GRANDFATHER-CLOCK-1960s-Barwick...

It does not give the value, but if you contact the creator of the page, Stuart Irwin, maybe he would know.

Since it is very difficult to find the same model, then compare prices for models with similar cabinets.
I found Italian Art Deco Rosewood & Mahogany Entertainment Cabinet, which has a very similar cabinet (with glass side doors), price 950 euro (was 1,800 euro) www.pamono.eu/italian-art-deco-rosewood-mahogany...

Vintage Radiogram Drinks Cabinet with a similarly shaped cabinet, but made entirely of wood (record player needs needle) $ 895 www.gumtree.com.au/.../1280311366

1950's DELCO Console Stereo Record Player (everything appears to be as it was when purchased) US $ 1,500 www.ebay.com/.../184379687091
