Oh I see. I thought the picture was where you had seen it in some sort of antiques emporium. I didn't realise you had saved it! Well done for that!
I recognise the chassis as one featured in the 1950's Practical television magazines. I have a pile that my Grandfather gave me way back. I'm sure there is one of these chassis fairly heavily dismantled on the front cover of one of them.
This upcycle thing beats me, especially as you say the repainting is usually done badly, thickly with runs. I can understand having a non working old T.V or radio in a trendy location as an example of design but badly painted white? it just looks a mess.
I look forward to seeing the set restored to it's former glory!
Rich.
