1951 radio questions

ok - this is a project for the coming cold winter. I bought a used, not tested radio for the Packard on ebay. I can probably get it working with some new tubes. However, has any one had any luck with the "convert your radio to am/fm" folks? I have seen ads for firms that actually remove the old internals and install new transistor radios inside. Also, does anyone have a wiring/test shooting diagram for a 51? We seem to have the 47-50 and 55 up radios covered, but I couldn't find one for the 51-54 series. thanks
