Had to have it.

Outstanding!!!
 I totally love this!!
 The saw looks --really-- good too!! Classic!
  I would be looking for some step pulleys to manage the speed though. 

  If you steel wool the crap out of the box and give it three coats of orange shellac (sprayed if you want it fast and easy).... that cabinet will blow your mind.
  yours Scott

That is classy, in an odd kind of way.

Put a bedroom clock in the cabinet somehow, and you can have a radio alarm saw!

Put it on a Radio Flyer wagon, and you'll have a mobile Radio Arm Saw.

What a hoot!

I like the saw and it's an interesting way to repurpose the old radio!
