48-482 rear panel help
#1

I've recently finished the internal restoration of a locally purchased Philco 48-482. The cabinet is in ok shape except there is no rear panel.

All is working well and the radio is a good performer. The question is when to stop on the project? I kind of like the "well used" look of the cabinet and am reluctant to refinish. But I would like to have a somewhat realistic rear panel for safety purposes, and to add completeness. Can anyone supply a rear panel photo of a 48-482?

Then there's the question of where I use this radio? The most likely location is for garage entertainment while tinkering on other projects. Should I add a Bluetooth module so make the unit more versatile, or is this sacrilege? It's a moral dilemma!

Thanks in advance for any help with rear panel pictures.
