Oh, I don't mean the framing job itself. I mean that I think the plain brown paint looks bad next to all the very pretty veneer. It think it would look better with a quality wood frame stained or toned to let the grain show through.

It's been done before and good radios have been destroyed in the process. I spoke with a local antique shop owner just the other day about this topic. He said that he a had a regular customer who converted vintage TVs and radios into fishtanks and flat planels like this. Claimed he got $1,000+ plus for them too. He might very well have been talking about this seller.
