What you need is an empty cabinet, there are more then enough of those around of many makes and models. Gutting out a complete old radio is just senseless, especially when it's to follow a stupid design fad. I've never seen one of these "repurposed" radio cabinets that looked good after they were done with it, they just look like butchered radio cabinets. I think you would be much better off either using an already empty radio cabinet, custom building something from scratch, or buying a smaller bookshelf or cabinet with doors from a flea market or garage sale. Have a look at a recent thread in this thread called "Restoration Complete" and you will see why there is more to an old radio then just a wooden box.

P.S If it is a model 37-33F, 37-34F, 37-38F, 37-60F, 37-61F, a 37-89F, or a 37-611F that nice grain pattern on the front panel is a faux finish, do not use furniture stripper on it of it will come off.
