I couldn't bring myself to do it. One of my primary motives for doing this as a hobby was to help preserve the history if I could (that and the idea that it is a bit electronics and a bit furniture finishing).
I kind of pushed my daughter toward the Crosley 66TC because I had already worked on that chassis, and I knew I could put one together for her, AND it had a dedicated phono circuit, AND I happened to already have a spare Crosley 66 chassis laying around. It turned out she liked the looks of the cabinet about as well as anything I had worked on so far which is a small problem because I was counting on being able to source any of the three cabinets for the chassis, and now I have to find one of the wooden ones. Ah well.
I've found a dial cover since this photo was taken.
