PHILIPS D8434, back to life

[Lasonic TRC-920]

DUDE! I love the strap holders! Great idea

 

[monchito]

that is so cool looking boxes man philips really made some nice ones

 

[ViennaSound]

And the work still goes on!

Wanted some crash bars for the speakers.
So got some steel and formed it:

some work for mounting....

ready! tomorrow i will mount them. :sin:

 

[Alasondro Allegre]

IMHO, but this box is not great at all;]. Butt pretty good for making something from it! ;]. Cool idea with those bars, Roman..

 

[ViennaSound]

This box will never be a grail, i know.
But a very good basis to make some nice modifications.

Or would you make some holes in a grail?

mounting

done

Hm, think i need some discolites on it...
Will part out a broken VIRA boombox soon, adding the lights on this one.

 

[blah blah]

very cool. make it man, keep on adding

 

[Old school Scott]

Nicely done VS.

Cheers OSS

And the next unit is still waiting for modification.
A PHILIPS-CHEAPY!!

Roman...you are rolling man! Keep it goin!

Hey, that's a nod to the legendary 'Cheapy".
Thanks.

Cheers OSS

 

[ViennaSound]

Ok, accepted!

 

[Old school Scott]

Nah, all cheap one's can be" Cheapys"

Cheers OSS

 

[ViennaSound]

now the work goes on

got some LEDs with chrome caps and some yellow supra LEDs

open the box again and part the front

making 4 holes in the bottom for the chrome LEDs
here comes a discolite

soldering the supra LEDs

away with the mics.
No need for them
Implant the supra LEDs and connect to the speakers

first test
like when KITT is speaking

togehter again

Now i must built the discolite generator :super:

 

[Retro Addict]

AMAZING!!!

I'm in awe, VS!

 

[Silly Sil]

Haha I think I got my work cut out for me huh!

Very nice post ViennaSounds. Thanks for the inspiration

 

[woodnbox]

Sorry for bringing up a old thread guys, but I stumbled onto this one
Some great work & ideas here Feeling inspired now
Good work Roman

Wow! I love the way how you exaggerate almost everything on this originally quite dull boombox. I have a question on LEDs. Which one did you use? And it's possible just to solder them to speaker pins (without any resistors and so on)? And how do they behave when the box makes some boom?
Great approach, really!

Hi Stepaan
As you can see i simply soldered it to the speaker pins.
Some old discolite boxes (the cheap ones) also did so.
I used some supra-LEDs (extra bright ones,avaiable in different colors and sizes).

You must also look about the voltage range, there exist some different versions.
Flashing begins at medium volume.

For prevend blowing the LEDs (if you like it very loud), you can add a small resistor.

Such a swift reply after years of sleep in this thread. We've cleaned some spider webs here Thanx!!! I've been working on my first project for some time now and every clever advice helps me a lot!

 

[ViennaSound]

Hope you show us something about your project!

btw: after all the time, i need to finish the PHILIPS...
