Why would anyone do that to such a rare set? I don't really see what the point is? Who would want a badly half painted cabinet with a big hole in the front ? Is the chassis dumped on the floor in front of it part of the repurposing ? as some sort of curio... I really don't get it its just a hideous mess in my eyes ! Anyone having it for display would surely be at risk of flying glass if they dropped something on the exposed CRT?
"upcycling" uurgh the word makes me shudder! I have seen horrendously painted radiograms with and without the electronics vintage radio sets painted in Union jack flags and some vintage record players recovered or painted lurid colours...
Poor old Murphy !
