I have a vintage early 1960s Zenith AM/FM radio / record player stereo console model mm2606. It is in great condition, everything works and everything original. Never been used and the original owner's manuals, which are three of them come with it. What is it worth, and where can I get rid of this vintage radio console?

This is the type of item that showing 'similar' models does not work for comparison as just one letter difference in the model number can mean a world of difference.
I can show you a 'similar' model to show you what sellers are asking for their consoles. However, it will not represent value to you because most of these consoles are sold with 'local pick up only' and one area may be 'into' these and another area may not pick one up for free. What kind of area is this located? Only you can determine that: after you list it for sale and see how many 'offers' you receive.
This console has been listed for sale on eBay for over 2 1/2 years - asking $1,300 with free pick up or $200 shipping. It is still for sale.
The model number: SK2506T is no where near your model number but what is the difference? Probably only Zenith collectors will know. Model numbers will make a difference in value.

Here a console that recently sold for $450. This was listed for sale in a radio shop and was in good working order and looked good. The model number - MK2606 - is very close to yours - MM2606 - but what is the difference? Will it change the value? You can read the description to see if it sounds like your console.

How to sell your console?
I would say to clean it up - inside and outside - check it to make sure everything works (this is critical), take several good pictures from every angle - front and back - and be sure there is no clutter anywhere to be seen or it will look as it does now.
You can list it on any site or several sites; Craigslist, NextDoor.com, OfferUp, LetGo, Facebook Market Place, USA4Sale. Start your price higher - even $1,200 if you've propped it right - show all offers considered and pick up only.
Leave it listed for several weeks and if no offers then lower the price.
You can also ask for information on Zenith forums:

You can try selling this on ebay.com. Here is a similar model, the price is $ 1,300.

From what I have seen on eBay, the actual selling price is in the $225 range.

This stereo will attract a certain buyer , they online on various sites for a few $100's to up in the $1000's . When getting a value contact a professional.- www.ebay.com/
It would be great if it was put together and cleaned up some. Even then, if it has been dismantled, it may lose out value.
If it works I could see someone paying $200 - $500 for it.
Is it still available? Where are you located? I would be interested in purchasing it.
