Well...
my two cents' worth: We are here to preserve history. That is the bottom line.
Most of us do not object to modifications that can improve performance yet retain most of the originality of the radio. I even admire the heat sink idea as that may be applicable to tube stereo receivers that sometimes run their output tubes close to (if not right at) their maximum ratings.
But when it comes to converting your radio into a night light...
well, alll I can do is quote someone whom I once knew and admired many years ago, the late Rev. Lowell Mason. He used to make a point fairly frequently in his sermons...and he always said it with a smile:
"You don't have to agree with me. You have every right to be wrong if you want to be. Amen?"
