DAB radio innards for a vintage re-make

I LOVE vintage wirelesses and radios! They are so beautifully designed and just YUM! But I also LOVE BBC 6Music - which is a DAB radio station.
I've been looking to see if theres any DAB build-your-own-radio kits, but I haven't come across any as yet. I guess the alternative is pulling apart my current one and giving it a go - I haven't a clue what I'm doing really! I know my way around a circuit board, and I can follow a schematic, but I guess the issue I'm worrying about is placement of buttons. I'm not too worried about having to drill new holes and add new buttons but I'm a bit worried I'm just going to fuck up a bit of beautiful vintage kitch and the radio (which I'm less concerned about because I can just use my TV if I have to).
Any suggestions, oh wonderful and knowledgable community of the site??

what i have is, an internet radio from robbertsons- and you can listen to anything.
i've over 400 stations aded on mine, most of them american stations, it also has an FM radio, a DAB, and it has a connection to last.fm
it's a neat peace of kit!- not to mention you never get tired of 1 station when you can always have new ones
i mainly like using it to find artists that are like someone else.
for example: i like torie amos
so i go to google, and type in, artists like torie amos.. and usually the first page on the top is the last.fm one
very useful
