If you're re-veneering the front panel I would suggest moving the television controls down on the front panel away from the picture tube. It would look funny to have them as close to the picture tube as they are in the small table top cabinet. Also you could reuse the Tele-Tone's inner gold screen mask on the new cabinet and make it look like the RCA 5" sets. Just paint the mask brown and back paint a piece of glass to put in front of the mask.
