Repurpose a Philco
#11

I was fully enveloped in one of the top of the line flame suits when I joined and posted this first post. And I appreciate the brutal honesty.

Most of which I was expecting. Also thanks for posting some suitable alternatives. Like the dining cabinet that PhilcoMike suggested.

Don't ever let this thread disappear so others through history know the crime they may be about to commit.

It was my assumption that since there were tens of thousands of each model made every year for decades, and they can be found cheaply and occasionally nearly free all over the place, that doing this would be more common.

I am now leaning towards not doing it.
