What seems like a thousand years ago now but in reality is just a little over fifteen years ago I did one of my first YouTube video of a BC-348Q receiver, got lots of hate mail about how dare you modify or change anything on it and all that sort of stupidity. A lot of people appear to have the attitude that if it is not all original and what they consider proper its some form of a Bastard.
The original video can be seen at:

Done a couple videos after that. Couple years ago had a bunch of basket case BC-348 receivers with one that had an all original face plate. So I did a face transplant, omitted the S-Meter circuit and added a base plate. Going to attach a picture of it when it was on the bench.
Often thought of doing a second or part two of that original video. Don't know if there would be the same level of P/M being it has a AC power supply and low impedance audio output transformer but at least it looks original from the outside.
Over the years quality of the video has improved, started shotting in (SD) NTSC and just finished my first project shot entirely on a I Phone in HD. You can see that at:
