I have been visiting the dumpster for electronic garbage lately, picking up old HI-FI components for parts. I'we aquired a lot of transformers, tropical fish capasitors, those cute silver caps from the 70's and old ge diodes and transistors.
Yesterday I found an old Tandberg radio reciver in great condition. It should be easy to modify the front to have only one volume controll, and I'm planning to change the backlite frequenzie-indicator to a logo. The top and sides are beautifully figured teak, and the front is brushed aluminium and glass. I think it's going to look supercool!!!
The radio is made in 1974,and have an extreme number of high quality capasitors. I still havent checked the voltages from the transformer, but it looks solid and huge, with 120. 220 and 240 V primary. The secondaries have 8 pins, so I guess there will be a wide array of voltages to select from.
So, here is what it looks like:
