Default Flat-panel TV on old TV cabinet

How can I mount a new flat-panel TV on the front of the cabinet of a

the old TV out of the cabinet).




Put one of those fake electric fireplace things in the hole where the TV
used to be, and set the flat-screen on top.
( :^/, of course )

Serious answer- time to junk the old console, or convert it into a
minibar, or something. I've seen kludges like you are proposing, and
they all looked like crap. You can never get the trim you add to look
like the original factory finish.
