Custom 1936 model 645
#1

Last year, a local friend was cleaning out their garage, and gave me a couple chassis. One is a 645 rescued from a crumbling 645 console.
I have no need for more consoles.  Icon_crazy
So I thought it might be a fun challenge to come up with and build my own tabletop tombstone. I like the shouldered tombstones.
I also like the grille cutout of the 650L.
So I cobbled these together in Photoshop.
Which do you all like best?
I recently saw a non Philco table top with the speaker on the bottom, and thought it was interesting. Hence the different design.
If I do move forward, it would drive some purists crazy, and possibly some historian crazy in 50 years.  Icon_lol
