Rather then hacking holes in a collectable receiver, its better to tack a wire onto the volume pot or detector and run it to a good audio amp. If you have a lot of vintage receivers, one amp and one speaker makes sense, you also get a tape line out for recording if you want.
If you decide to sell the gear, all you have to do is unsolder the wire. Brett N2DTS > That makes sense.
