Here’s the concept – I found a great speaker enclosure at ham fest, it’s dying to gain new life as a bedside mp3 player. Think old radio with a 2 gig aesthetic play list to lull someone to sleep. Old radio broadcasts intertwined with simple jazz and classical selections segue with radio tuning and static pushed through a 50 year old 3″ speaker to mask the digital to analog converter and solid state amp in the $10 2gig mp3 player purchased from Microcenter. The rub lies in the interface, I’ve already dissected the mp3 player and I want to use old school toggle switches to navigate, no display needed just play, next track, maybe a folder jump switch. Volume via old school potentiometer, Switches no problem, soldering to the tiny contacts in the thumb sized device will be a bit tricky. Stay tuned.
