Anyone who'd cut their rack panels down to 18 inches WOULD be nuts!

The best "conversion" article I remember seeing is one from Jan. 1959 
QST called "Getting Started with the BC-454".   A power supply was built 
into 3" by 12" by 17" chassis that allowed plenty of room for the future 
addition of converters, etc, and after a "lite" (filament voltage) 
conversion, the receiver sat on top nice as can be.    Rather than the 
usual front-panel mod, the author described how to bring connections for 
the gain control, bfo switch, and headphone jack down to the power 
supply chassis, resulting in a neat receiver that except for a tuning 
knob, looked like a virtually unmodified command set.   Of course the 
author was Lew McCoy W1ICP, which explains a lot.
