Good job Ron!   

Since your daughter isn't a collector and probably won't be DXing the AM and shortwave bands how about putting a small FM converter in it for them.

You might also want to consider adding a jack for an MP3 player.  Either way it would be nice for them to get some use out of that nice radio since, if their local AM programming is anything like ours, sucks 

You mean you get tired of hearing "From high atop Kincaid Towers in beautiful downtown Lexington, hi again everybody, this is Ralph Hacker and this is Cat Calls..."

Oh, wait, he's retired.

To be serious now...those are both good ideas and I appreciate your bringing that up. I've also considered installing a Bluetooth receiver to plug into a 1/8" stereo jack, installed in the back of the set. That way they could stream whatever they wanted from their iPhone, my Phone, your Phone, his Phone, her Phone. Or they could use the jack for an mp3 player.

There is some seller that is refurbishing Mid Century Modern style console stereos and adding Bluetooth receivers to each one. His prices are astronomic, but he appears to be selling at least some of them. Some MCM aficionados, as in all hobbies and interests, have more money than sense.
