I have mixed feelings. It's cool looking, in a way. On the other hand, it calls to mind those ugly prisoner TVs which have a clear Lucite case so that the convict can't stash contraband inside. This guy admits that he spent more on the Lucite case than he did for the TV itself.
The Radio Crafters television with a chromed chassis might be a better candidate for Lucite. As with some Scott radios, the chrome is almost too pretty to keep hidden.
Trivia note: Hallicrafters made a clear Lucite clock radio in 1952. It was a dealer demo designed to promote their new printed circuit technology.
