Latest project completed, old Pye valve radio as Bluetooth amp

[g8ina]

Old Pye valve radio, scrapped the innards, added new two way stereo speakers (60w Gale Mini Monitors drivers) on a new baffle, new speaker cloth. New backboard with Nobsound Class D 50wpc Bluetooth amp, stereo phono sockets to rear panel. Cabinet stripped of old varnish using acetone (yuch), and given 6 new coats of fine yacht varnish with 2 days drying and a 1000 grit sanding between coats. Back to it's original glorious tones. Sounds unbelievable.

Old and Tired -





New and Shiny -





Even managed to keep the original 1954 (?) radio receiving licence

and just sold to a local gallery for £150, not quite as much as I was hoping for, but I cleared my costs and time
