Repurpose a Philco
#19

The heavy wooden cabinet will work very well for a subwoofer. Remove and save original speaker, securely mount sub speaker or sub speaker cabinet in the back of radio cabinet and directly behind old speaker hole. The old wooden cabinet should give you very good subwoofer resonance, giving it an even deeper feel than a particle board enclosure. From your pictures, the radio cabinet and chassis seems to be in good shape and a good candidate for restoration. Nowadays, your chevron grill cloth is probably the most collectable item from this radio, since there now no new reproductions of that style currently being made.
