. Just wanted to know that I would not be commiting some vintage radio sin by modifying it (I am a car guy and I have seen many vintage car sins commited). The speakers sound great, radio...check, and the turn table stillspins around in perfect little circles. No reason to pull any of that stuff out just going to add a few hidden 21 century toys.
I will continue to look around for a bit longer to make sure.
