blah.blah.blah - 2009-08-26 08:52

hate to mod a box but missing way to many parts to ever be original, but such a cranker had to do something...replaced deck keys with a set from another box. now 100% functional and a bit weird...

Nice job.

I just got a early 70's mono boombox
might be a late 60's donno,
with the wood look on it.

That is dope! Really nice work. Did you cut it all by hand?

blah.blah.blah - 2009-08-28 10:54

yep, the only hard part was the deck key change out cause i had to cut a bit of the deck and get the key pin to sit just right. also building a know to get the function switch to work since the plastic rod was broken off (but luckily not the guts) Smile

Man, the only thing better lookin' than your Box, is your Avatar!!! That's very unique!!! Make sure you keep a can of Lemon Pledge handy!!!

That's a Real Head Turner!!!

nice touch! you have skills...

Hello i think the way you put wood trim to a part's box was brilliant...looked unique and had me thinkin. Would'nt it be awsome to fabricate the whole box created out of wood....nice man,lovin it.

One question, how do you know what radio station it's recieving?

madclout - 2009-11-14 07:33

Great job, are you a finish carpenter?

blah.blah.blah - 2009-11-15 15:15

I was before madclout, but used something even trickier than skill on this Smile The other thing is the lack of tuner scale is no problem, it goes one way all the way and the other way all the way. Radio stations announce their call numbers every three seconds so easy to know where you are. I did add a stereo light though so can see when your fm stereo.

brigadier.vytas - 2009-11-16 04:16

is it sticker/sticky tape, or thin plates of wood? I would add some more "wood" on the speakers zone.
