hmmm, most of yinz 'HERE' might not do that, but most of the planet ELSEWHERE most certainly would. re-tasking is all the rage. Have you not 'pinterest' in your locale? I assure you that any of the facebook or pinterest following groups have active members that outnumber the active members here by a couple orders of magnitude. such is the world we live in.

what this guy did certainly is marketable, and certainly looks lucrative. money talks....you know what else walks....

my post is not to be construed that *I* would go that route, but other routes I do go. Next project is a 100yr old trunk converted into a trunk with a stereo radio inside (got the idea off tv....the one on tv sold for over $300 for a $50 investment. I happen to have a couple trunks in stock, a couple stereo radios with bad cases, and a few hours free time eventually. that knock at the door? opportunity)

Perhaps, but the fact of the matter is that this is simply the wrong audience to gain much agreement or acceptance for those kinds of "upgrades".

And also the reason why a TV with a good picture tube generally sells for less than half of what a picture tube alone sells for.....nobody wants to be the one to "kill" it.

Im not recollecting that the person who created that radio, posted about it here in any fashion let alone gain acceptance.
