I'm curious as to what this stereo may be worth? It's a pretty neat piece! It has a thick glass window that will slide open to reveal the radio dials, one knob will light up green when you turn it on, and there is another knob that will open up aviation stations and foreign stations. Is there anyone that can give me any information about it?

There should be a label in the back that shows what the model number is. It will say something light Zenith 9-S-244. This model is similar but not exact as yours. You can see more about it at this link: http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/zenith_9s244_9_s_244_ch5905.html
Zenith radios with the big black dials usually sell better than most other radios. The thing to keep in mind is that it is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it. If there is a radio collector's group in your area you could contact them to get an idea about the market where you are.
It's a beautiful set! Thank you for posting it!
