    Generally on Flea Market Flip (HGTV) these are made into a bar for small spaces. I would remove the lower section front and use the original wood trim on a new hinged door, using meta. Remove the top area for access to open shelf. HGTV) these are made into a bar for small spaces.

    Cut the front of casing approx 5-6" deep to make a hinged door. Take out the Speaker Grills and replace with Glass or Poly sheet. Form a Window at top where Radio sat. Inside the door form shelves to take Glasses or bottles.

    Board up the back. Either Mirror (Acrylic) the inside of the cabinet or Paint it Black or Paper it in a Jazzy design. Hope that helps..........

    Wow, it looks so vintage and pretty. I like such stuff. My whole house is decorated with old books, furniture, floor and so on. We even don't have a TV, we bought a retro landline phone and a radio. So, I think there are so many people that love vintage things for their houses or maybe coffee shops or hotels that have also the same style would like to purchase it. As I said we already have even 2 radio. One retro and one for an emergency. We found it in reviews on woahtech.com.
