Retro style bluetooth speakers

[Vonplaf]

So have been going to thrift stores and finding old broken radios and then gutting them completely if they could not be fixed.
Then taking a cheap bluetooth speaker taking the internals out and cutting of the part of the housing where the button for controlling the bluetooth speaker was located with a dremmel.

 

The fitting the guts of the bluetooth speaker inside the old broken and gutted radio, cutting a hole on the back of the radio with a dremmel to fit the plastic part with the controls from the bluetooth speaker then soldering back the wires for the speakers, battery and bluetooth module and getting it all stuck back into the radio with hot glue, epoxy and screws...

Have done this 3 times now and have not been able to keep them for my self, as "that kind" of hipsters are basically paying what ever price i set when i am asked if its for sale...

 

Approx. price for parts (in Danish kroner and USD) 

Broken radio 25 - 75 DKK / 3 - 11 USD

Bluetooth speaker 149 DKK / 21USD

 

Time for me to make one of these

Time to make one...  1-2 hours 

 

Tools used

Dremmel
Flush-cutters 
screwdriver set.
soldering iron. (solder, flux, ....)

Hot glue gun (with glue)

So here have the 3 i have made and all ready sold. at a OK price ;) 
Hope you like them.

Currently I am looking for one to make in to a diy google home speaker, but I just have to locate the right model for that idea.
