Well, "workmanship" is not a term that would come to mind when seeing this botch job, but I suspect that dieseljeep is likely correct in that the original chassis was long gone by the time the "conversion" was performed. I also suspect that the conversion itself occured many years ago... the Sony looks to be approx mid 90s vintage... why would anybody today hack up a console TV to install a 15-20 year old Trinitron?
Now a question... As collectors, if a common empty early to mid 50s console was offered to you, what would you do:
1. Turn it down ?... landfill for sure.
2. Take it and hope to find a chassis somewhere ?... difficult "inside straight"
3. Take it and try to find a collector that can use it?
4. Take it and use it for firewood?
5. Take it and use it for something ? Flat panel, Fishtank, A/V equipment rack... ?
6. Other options?
If 1 or 2, how long would you hold onto it before giving up?
