The link below will show you a couple of videos and a picture.

Just wanted to wish you all a happy new year and that to simply say I'm still enjoying my little boombox, I listen to the radio on it every day, the "visualizer" effect was my little hack to this machine as the TV had a problem, so I rewired its deflection coils (so called) to the output of the amplifier so the TV now pops & jumps to electric signals from the music, the louder the bigger the lines to screen, like a music oscilloscope.

Anyway, I'll love it for a few years yet I hope, I fixed the peeled off control panel which was missing on the left-hand side, I meticulously created a new image for it in photoshop and had it printed out on special sticky plastic-like covering which was a bugger to get on there, but it worked well enough to look miles better than before.

So... good 2025's to all, see you soon maybe with more images, cheers to you

Great setup...and a Happy New Year as well! It really breathes new life into the box. It reminds me of the old spectrum analyzers that some home hifi systems came with in the 80's. Nice job!

My 3090EN's TV still has a picture but I lost my PAL/ Coaxial connector (the box is originally from Europe) and I'm on the lookout for a GOOD connector. I bought some off of Amazon (they came with a good rating) but I didn't have much luck and their construction was cheap so the picture was poor. Even with a decent antenna (which works perfectly for my living room TV) the quality and signal was poor.

Maybe I should create a visualizer with mine like yours:hmmm:
