Repurpose a Philco
#1

Is is sacrilege?

New to the forum, and wanted to find out before I start ripping into it.

My Girlfriend has had in her house a pretty clean Philco looks similar to a Model 37-33F that she got at a garage sale or similar years ago. Thanks to this forum, I will confirm the type next time I see it, I didn't know there were so many models made.

We like to keep the house looking tidy, and are remodeling to make that easier.

What I would like to do is empty the electronics out of the philco, and use the shell to hide the higher tech electronic things in the house. Router, cable box, Blueray player, amp etc.

But after searching online and in this forum this morning I cant find any info on anyone doing something similar.

It has been and always will be decoration. Is there any reason why I should not go for it.

Thanks for all opinions in advance!!!
