A friend of mine who has a Victrola store in PA recently sold one for around $600. That was a crank machine in very nice shape. I would think the value would be more on that line.
The original books were not there. Do not think it had a brass reproducer either. Although it was a low produced machine, I am not sure it is a really desirable one for marketing it to sell. Just my opinion.
