My 1942 Philco 42-380X Radio project
#4

Arran Wrote:You could have restored the original electronics of that radio for less then the cost of that flat screen and the other computer parts, and the set would have been worth more monetarily and historically. If you wanted a memento to your grandparents why deface a perfectly good radio by fitting a PC inside it's cabinet that will be worthless junk in under five years? I can only hope that the cabinet hasn't been hacked up or so full of holes that if you can put it back the way it was someday, assuming of course that you didn't toss out the original parts already.

and if you actually read my post and the other site's listing, you would see that i already owned the computer. try reading before answering noob. And yes there were a few holes drilled into this radio so that things could be mounted. my children will appreciate a computer, not some crappy old AM radio that some day soon wont even work.
