Repurpose a Philco
#7

On your original subject, to hide some stuff, I built a small shelf into the back of my restored 39-35 to house a cable modem, internet router, a remote controlled HD cable receiver and an 8 plug surge protector power strip in my family room. As this unit uses only a long wire for an antenna, there is plenty of room in the back of this cabinet, as there should be in your 37-33F, for you to hide all of these devices. If you don't restore original electronics, leave it in the cabinet, cut off the old power cord and at least make a night light with a 6 to 9 volt flashlight bulb and socket wired to a matching low voltage wall wart transformer and programmable timer to illuminate the dial from the back. These small bulbs do not get hot because their low voltage DC current and they last forever. These 4 items can be purchased at Radio Shack for under $20
