Ten years or so earlier, you could still get a TV where the sides of the case were made of wood. Wood, metal and black plastic throughout. Physical buttons that went ‘clunk’, a physical slider to adjust the volume, a metal dial for tuning.
I actually took a busted one of those and fit a 32in flat into it. Blocks off a little of the edges with the frame and gives it that square screen look without losing anything important. Cheap soundbar sounds amazing inside the box, everything is plugged into a surge protector inside and fed through the antenna hole.
I really want to get a Vintage breadbox or radio to put the DVD player inside of.
That sounds amazing. I’d love to see a photo. I’d planned a similar project with an old radio, but it’s one of those things that’s been on my “I’ll get round to it eventually” list for 5 years :)
I guess it’s very much a matter of taste.

To me, that was peak design.

I’m snap a pic when I get home, I still need to find the right tacky fabric to finish the boarder, but it at least works
