While we're Dreamin', I wish I had the technical smarts to rig up a COLOR one... Slip a 5" color set-IF you could wrest one away from the Gamer Putzes-put it into thr Admiral cabinet, & you'd have somethin' to REALLY Show Off...

There's a Bakelite AA5 Admiral radio that looks similar and would pair well with it.
If the IF has enough bandwidth to pass the chroma sub carrier a NTSC color wheel converter would be an interesting period conversion.
