I'm glad you like the idea David, You could screw four brass batten holders, one in each corner, some frilly shades and maybe a few carbon filament lamps.
It could then claim to be the first 'Dual Standard' receiver..

Seriously it would be a pity to see this scrapped. It is huge but I doubt if there is another one in the UK. Strange that many post war receivers are now rarer than pre war models. I guess the Murphy V114 is one of them. John.
