$10 Fake Philco Baby Grand radio and a boring weekend
#7

The little pocket radio speaker wasn't really sponge worthy.
Pulled it out and put in OEM Ford door panel oval speaker.
Did away with the pot metal "Philco" tuning window as the speaker filled up the cabinet.

Powering it with a power supply from the original PlayStation 3 Fatboy. Very unreliable console, CPU/GPU would cook itself, blueray drive was software tied to the mobo, etc. but the power supplies were solid. Copper heatsink and Nichicon caps.
I found three busted consoles in a ditch back in 2015. Kept the power supplies.
And the uranium glass bowls and goodies.
