oztrooper Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 https://imgur.com/gallery/TSO1JqV https://imgur.com/gallery/eHqtI19 This is a project that required vintage modified and grafted in PRECOR radio parts, a first gen cast off an actual Sonix faceplate and knobs, graphic work by Hondo Supply (Thankyou for the cross hair graphic), a green dial graphic and other scratchbuilt and sourced components. Though the video does not show this, there is volume and all radio bands work. I have the video with sound posted on IG and FB for those interested. The back of the radio has also been reproduced and I am currently working on the cardboard and vinyl work. It uses 4 D batteries or power cord to operate.

Hausi Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 That's really cool! I have built a Sonix replica which also includes the back view with a battery compartment and cable... but it doesn't match yours with the working dial... and mine doesn't work. Amazing job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
