Converting a portable to cabinet

Converting a portable to cabinet
Is it possible to take a portable machine and put it in a cabinet? I'm watching what I believe is a 15-90? clone on goodwill. I keep leaving her but every day come back to check the bid, hoping that it's too high for me :-) but so far it's still in my range.

Anyway, IF I decide to bid AND I'm successful, I'd like to put her in a cabinet.

Lets see, winning bid + $33.79 (shipping to Phx - 85017 zip ) = too much IMNSHO.
Some of these GW locations are literally ripping people off with the shipping costs. This one, those in CA and some in ID are the worst.
That said I was considering bidding on it till I saw the shipping. If you get it how about selling me the case?
Oh, and it's apiece of cake (Double Dutch Chocolate with Devils Food Chocolate icing please) to put a portable in a cabinet. I do it all the time when I test run those with no motors. I stick 'em in my #1 treadle and run them till I'm sure they work.

I’d expect to pay at least twice that amount, if I wanted it to arrive in one piece...

No I'm not kidding. I've won a bunch of machines on GW and most of them average about $25.00 ± for shipping. The price of shipping doesn't seem to correlate to weather or not the machine reaches me in one piece or many pieces.
