Well... for the same reason they: (1) Put bright red grillecloth on a Philco 20B Deluxe; (2) Paint the cabinet of a Philco 16B with a wonderful combo of white house paint and gold spray paint; (3) put BASEBALL CARD stickers all over an otherwise PRISTINE Philco 44B cathedal; (4) Carve "Edna" in the sides and top of a 6S128 Zenith.

Yep... these are examples of things previous owners did to sets I had.

Why indeed.... Icon_eh
