toss a recharge battery string in ,, then a small flip up solar panel and sell them with the word "sustainable" or "doomsday" in the description, then they would ebay for 100$ each... especially if any of them had FM.

toss in a wifi extender and the tots would go banana's for some "retro" tunes.

personally i think anything that can be done to get this kind of tech out there in the hands of younger people is a win win,,as all this is the foundation of all things electrical engineering and stem technology.

look at what all you guys had to learn and already know in order to even fix this kinda tech,, its amazing actually when you stop and think about it.

whats even more interesting is the fact that nothing has really changed all that much,, a box is a box with parts in it and the box still plays by the same old technology rules.
