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

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

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.

The old console is a good-looking piece of furniture which would
accomodate a new flat-panel TV better than holding a fake fireplace or
being converted to a minibar.
