Wow, a "tombstone" TV! I never would have thought of it, but that works! It's ashame "black dial" Zenith cabinets are worth so much. You could build a "prototype" porthole quite easily using one.

I have a cheap Silvertone console from about '46 with the radio/phono under a lid. (it's the same width as any other console, not like a "side-by-side") Someday I will yank the phono (and perhaps the radio as well) and mount an orphaned TV chassis in there, facing upwards. It will be a custom mirror-in-lid set. All I need is time. Look for a completion date sometime in the '20s!
