Thank you very much!If you make the desk i'd love to see it :)

Reatined most of the functionality so, very well, all things considered!

If I make another one I'll be sure to take some pictures and update this build.

Cheers mate!

Finishing as an art of it's own. Oil finishes are always a nice and easy one to start with, incredibly forgiving and easy to apply.

They're great, super helpful. You can pick them up for about £15, the one I'm using is made by a company called veritas and is really good.

That's the idea :)

Thank you !

You and me both, although it is going to be displayed at London design festival in September. Fingers all good thanks! Got a big old scar and big lesson!

Thanks!

Much appreciated!

That sounds really cool, I like the fact you've used a scooter battery, nice compact size and readily available. How are you finding the battery life ?

Very nice!

Thank you very much!

:D thanks!!!!

The idea behind the hole was to reduce the amount of heat allowed to build up around the LEDs.

Thank you :)

Thanks!

Much Appreciated!

Going by the price list of my local acrylic supplier (10mm at 72.00 per m2) this project would cost £2.26 or $2.83

:D

I'll have to check them out! I need all the lip I can get with concrete! Thanks, I love the little USB leds, makes projects like these really accessible.

Sorry for the late reply, just seen this message. That is the way I did it, you can also go in a CAD program like Rhino or Sketchup and draw a solid the volume you need. Then design an enclosure around that, you would also need to minus the driver/drivers displacement from you overall volume. Some manufacturers list the SD (The effective projected area of the cone or diaphragm) in there specifications but if you can't find them you can just take some of a similar speaker the same diameter. For example the SD of a B&cC 15ndl756 has na SD of 855.0cm2. So from this I know that a 15" speaker with a small neo-magnet will displace about 855.0cm2. If any other questions I'll do my best to help.

hahah! thank you very much :)

Glad you like it :)

Thanks man!

I got a laugh out of it.

Nice!

Thanks very much! I love working with wood, such an interesting medium!

Thanks!

Ahhh cheers! I hope she likes it!

Thank you so much, I really enjoyed reading that comment. I'm very happy you feel as though I have retained the look and feel of the radio (one of my biggest worries). I'll find out christmas what she thinks of it!

This is awesome!

Thank you both for the comments, they made an interesting read! I did consider trying to re-use the original board but 13w of power just wouldn't cut it with my 14 year old sister. Not to mention the vast amount of time effort and more importantly, money to replace all those dried out capacitor s and so on. Also I like the idea of reusing the tubes it will be something I look into. With regards to the original amp being a space heater in winter well thats hilarious... Ultimately I'm just happy it's playing music again even if it does end up playing tropical house!

Fortunatley there are still many pristine examples left awaiting restoration! Thanks for your comment :)
