Antique radio receivers retain a significant charm, and though they do not carry huge value today they were often extremely high quality items that would have represented a significant investment for their original owners. This guy acquired just such a radio, a Philco 37-11 made in 1937, and since it was it[sic] a bit of a state he set about giving it some updated electronics. Stripping away the original electronics, he gave it a modern amplifier with Bluetooth capabilities, and a Raspberry Pi.
One of the coolest applications for a Pi I've seen.

Like I said on the Hackaday website, One man's trash is another man's treasure. If the parts he removed were servicable, then others restoring this radio would be glad to have them. Nothing gets wasted...
Geez! Stop with the angst about a little adventurous mods. Lots of people do it, myself included...
;-D
