Bill, I completely understand your points.
I would have considered a full restoration to original specs if it hadn't already been partially cannibalized. The 10-tube 'code 121' radio seems to be unrestored and intact, but like I noted above the rest was gone when I found it. I realize there were Bar/radio sets made up (mostly a prohibition item I think ;^) but figured continuing to use it in a home theatre system was more true to its original intent, and since I'm a HiFi nut anyway the plan came together easily.
I've since rebuilt the flanking speakers and updated them with black grills, so have removed the cloth from the Philco to match (sorry, don't have a way to post those pictures....but it does look better integrated, even with an LCD TV sitting on top now).

No offence intended, believe me!
Brian
