Why would you think that? I looked at the pictures of the converted cabinet, and I think whomever installed the LCD monitor where the radio chassis used to be did a very good job framing it. I think this is a very creative way of reusing an antique radio cabinet, if the radio chassis was beyond repair; much better than turning the cabinet into a fishtank.

BTW, this is the first console HDTV flat panel I have ever seen, and I like it. Homemade, yes, but it is one of a kind, for now anyway. Maybe this will give others some ideas on how to make a HD flat-panel TV look good (by building the set into a cabinet), not just a black flat screen sitting on a table. Most FPs, IMO, are about as stylish as today's black-plastic cube CRT sets.
