TD-1536 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 This is a project I've been working on for the past four months. I first want to acknowledge the help of John Sale who created most of the face panels and large dial as 3D graphics, then had them laser-cut in acrylic. I constructed the final radio model and all the molds, then spend about 4-5 hours making each radio by hand. It's truly a labor of love for sure. Special thanks to Don Coleman for helping with the white, water-slide decals to add that final touch. These radios are all accounted for. Sorry. However, I'll be moving in the next few weeks and once settled in the new shop, I'll try to crank these out as soon as practical. So please, no PMs! But save your pennies, I'm projecting a cost of about $150 plus shipping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skutch Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Any chance of having a working speaker inside that we could hook the MEPD MP3 Loop up to? OR, are they hollow inside and could a radio shack speaker go in it? That would be amazing if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may provide them with the backs un-attached so that you can insert speakers if you want. Currently none of the knobs or switches are functional, so don't try and move them - they'll break off. How I build these will evolve over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
