Hello all....thought id share this with you all.....

As some of our members will know, here in the UK we have had analogue tv switched off last year so i had the idea to put a 5.5 inch flat screen and digital tv tuner into a sharp 5P 37H....it took me about 3 months off and on but thanks god its finished now....

here`s the photo`s ....enjoy



great work , dave -

it looks perfect in there

wow thats just awesome...

Great work dave....I see companies specializing in this type of work in years to come....far better for the enviroment...nicley done...

Excellent job, I bet that LCD is easier on the batteries.

Great handy work Dave!

great stuff DAVE, that could,nt have been an easy job, well done mate

This is just great, any pics with the new screen on.

ok driptip.....ill take some tomorrrow and post em up

this is awesome. i will think about making the same conversion. Would a 6 (or bigger) inch LCD have fit too?

i dont think a 6 inch one will fit nevone....unless you chop some plastic away from the original mounting pegs.........

here`s the box with the TV turned on......pic 2 shows the 2 remote pickups for the screen and the freewiew box

WOW THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST mods that i have seen,

Great job Davebush, i have the same radio maybe will do the same.

by the way how satisfied are u with it?

i noticed the topof the screen seems to have a 1/2 inch of empty space, is that correct?.

YEAH IT DOES DT...........I THINK IT MAYBE THE SETTINGS ON EITHER THE TV OR FREEVIEW BOX....TO BE HONEST IV NOT TESTED EVERYTHING ON THE MENU`S YET.....ILL LEAVE THAT FOR ANOTHER DAY.....AS FOR HOW SATISFIED AM I .....WELL LETS SAY ITS BEEN A PAIN IN THE ASS PROJECT BUT NOW ITS DONE, ITS NOT LIKE WATCHIN TV ON MY 46 INCH SCREEN...LOL

I agree, excellent mod davebush.

 Davebush this is really a very good job, you really need the know how and the skills to perform such a mod, i know that eventually you will figure out how to fix the screen problem,

by the way what brand is that tv, from what i can see in the screen.
it has really nice colors.

DT....the screen is only a cheapy.....kingavon i think.....check out the top pictures....

If you Could incorporate the tuner from a ATSC LCD tv then this would be up todate and imagine if you took this to a known area that only had digital transmission for ( Telly programming ) available and You could watch your Present day television and Still be able to play your Cassette's - Then this would be Really something to see and Hear

That is really impressive.  Good job!

Which part of the conversion was the most difficult?

probably retro fitting the screen and mounting it....there`s not a lot of room in there now.....its tighter than a @#1$

Alot if time and effort dave but the finished prouct make's up for it and on the plus side it work's.Imagination is key cause when we we put our mind to it anything is possible...............Job well done !

Thanks Pioneer......nice to see you posting again

That takes skill bro. Very nice job.

thanks litfan

I thought it would be nice to resurect this thread so new members could see it....This box is now for sale

How much for?

kool,dave,i remember when you did this,it was brilliant..
