A neat solution might be to fabricate a clear Lucite cabinet for it...Show off all the tubes, CRT, so forth. In a few years lotsa people won't know what a genuine tube TV will look like...

Hi Bandersen,
Bryan G. wrote: "I would take a prewar radio cabinet and mount it inside." Look at what French collector Pierre Genet built: Full story here: http://www.cfp-radio.com/ Look under "Realisations" --> "Prototype de moniteur 9 pouces a lampes" Lots of good TV & Radio restorations on the site, chock-full with pictures. Best Regards jhalphen Paris/France

http://www.electronixandmore.com/tel...lot/index.html I have mixed feelings. It's cool looking, in a way. On the other hand, it calls to mind those ugly prisoner TVs which have a clear Lucite case so that the convict can't stash contraband inside. This guy admits that he spent more on the Lucite case than he did for the TV itself. The Radio Crafters television with a chromed chassis might be a better candidate for Lucite. As with some Scott radios, the chrome is almost too pretty to keep hidden. Trivia note: Hallicrafters made a clear Lucite clock radio in 1952. It was a dealer demo designed to promote their new printed circuit technology. http://antiqueradio.org/halli11.htm Phil Nelson Phil's Old Radios http://antiqueradio.org/index.html
