I have done this before, but only to something unsaveable in original state.
I fitted a windup Baygen radio into a late 20s transportable Marconi radio cabinet with very pleasing results.

The only thing that lets that conversion down is the tube shape; but fun to do and you weren't destroying anything, just bringing it back to life.
