WOW!!! Great job. Using the Ace paint buckets, did you have any issue getting the Lincoln (paint brand?) paint to stick and stay stuck to the plastic?

Yeah, I 'could' have done that, but why?...Most of ~99% the 45's I keep are good listening.
About 10 years ago I did something similar on a Zenith that was the 3rd tube TV set I owned...I sliced up the plastic top to a cheap dead VCR and made a really lousy yoke cover stand in...It even had electrical tape...I need to redo that one of these days if I haven't yet.

Thanks.
It was actually Duplicolor paint; the stuff I use on my 78 Lincoln Mark V...It stuck okay with the caveat that I cut the center hole, painted it then later widened it at the top and bottom...When I widened it the ~1/32" along the cut peeled. It touched up fine though.
