A New Building Project.....A Homemade Cassette Deck.

Well, as I still have a large collection of audio cassettes featuring home recordings as

well as many vintage Radio shows, I thought I'd order a new cassette player and create a

cassette deck so as to be able to enjoy all my old tapes, some of which I haven't heard in a while.

And they certainly sound a lot better having upgraded to a 10 watt speaker which gives a much better

sound.

And it was all put together very recently during a 2 week window while pondering what

to do with my other blog.

Below are two Youtube videos I made this week.

And on the right, sizing the box up with various speakers.

Above: The Cassette player fits in the box, leaving the work to fit in a 10 watt speaker

as well as a panel board from an old Radio.

But before all that is fitted in, the box frame was sanded down and then covered in a dark

woody sticky fablon material.

Danny Rampling's Lovegroove Dance Party.

Radio Station from one of my last visits to the City.
