A lot.
If you were the original owner, and never used it much, and looks basically new, then it is valuable.
The prices for these vary a lot because most require expensive repairs to restore them.
The better the condition the more valuable it is, where ones in poor condition are not so much.
If you want to sell it, you should get some high quality photos made of it, and maybe an assessment by an expert, on its functionality.
A really nice one could be worth between one and two thousand dollars.
