Download - Modding an antique radio
Weekend project!Modding an antique radio
My toy: Phillips B5X99TMy grandpa’s radio is in family for 45 years.It was abandoned in a shed.
Me + dust + termite + dust + cables + dust
Antique radio lovers are going to kill me...
I throwed out all the eletronic stuff. I needed the space for the other toy:
Edifier M1335
Some electronic adjustments...
I wanted to adjust the volume and some input switch on the original radio knobs and buttons.
Some woodwork on the external box, and reinforced the structure.
It was a pain to find the right fabric.I couldn’t find it, actually, I switched to another one.
Almost ready!Now it was just putting all together!
On/Off“On” indicating leds
Two RCA and one P2 inputsSwitch button on the front

I bought:Plained wood;
Glue;Fabric;
A lot of gas looking for material;LEDs, P2, RCA, Cable, Plugs;
Edifier M1335.
Time consumed:Total: Six holidays:
Many many hours looking for fabric;Many many hours sanding;
Many many hours thinking and trying to fit it all together.
Finished!
It’s really nice to finish this project!
I spend a nice time with my dad, that helped me with the electronic welding.
Thanks to my girlfriend that could not hear anymore about this project! =)
