Why not gut it and put in an aquarium????

[QUOTE=nasadowsk;1387610]The only TV cabinet reuse I ever saw was my Grandma's house, the old (and quite attractive!) 50's vintage double door RCA cabinet was gutted after the TV died, and turned into a book case.

Oh, do I have a heart wrenching story along these lines...

About 1964, a rather well-to-do neighbor decided that the cabinet of
their old and unwatched B&W DuMont TV would make an excellent book
case for their daughter's college law books. They offered me the 'guts'
from the set for free if I would remove it all quickly.

I offered to have a custom book case built if they would let me buy
the entire working TV set from them, but they were steadfast in their
desire to use the case of *that* TV for the book case.

So this is how I ended up with the two chassis and 30BP4 from a perfect,
working, mint condition Dumont Royal Sovereign Teleset. :^( :^( :^(
