RCA TRK-120, without its TV chassis

Hi all-

I am now the happy owner of a TRK-120 that was recently discussed on the Antique Radio Forums. Its TV components were removed and replaced with a record player, perhaps as long ago as the 1950s or even late 1940s. The work was quite high quality, and it probably saved the set from being discarded entirely decades ago. The turntable was replaced with a newer one at a later date as well; there are two boards with different cutout patterns for each player.

My intent is to restore/rebuild the cabinet parts that were modified or removed for the conversion, and then likely engineer a way to put a newer RCA TV chassis (probably an 8-T-241/KCS-28) with a 12-inch CRT in place while looking and hoping to eventually find an original chassis set.
