Frankenrola

[bandersen]

I picked up this Motorola TS-60 chassis a while ago with the intent of parting it out. It was in such good condition that I never did though. The previous owner is a radio restorer and couldn't get it to work. Looks like he did excellent work to me. It probably came from a 16T1 like this.
I packed it away and almost forgot about it.



Well a few weeks ago I came across an empty Motorola bakelite cabinet on ebay. It's for a model 17T5E like this.


I had the seller take some measurements and it seemed that my 16" chassis would fit nicely so I took a chance on it.

Now I had to worry about shipping damage. It just arrived today.


Looks good so far.


Hurray! It survived


Better yet - it's a good fit




The seller included these knobs. I believe the large outer knobs are correct. I'm not sure about that inner one though


So what do you guys think about me creating a Frankenstein Motorola set ?
