EDIT: I said I use an Iphone cable to power it. It's actually a mini USB to USB cable.
Another of my How To Videos.
This one using a junk radio cabinet and install a bluetooth module to use the radio as a prop in films or just be able to listen to old radio shows or music from a vintage radio.
I bought this Bluetooth module.
www.amazon.com...
The speakers I bought aren’t available from the site I bought them from so any small 3 or 4 ohm speaker will work. If the cabinet has the original speaker it may work. Not sure, but you could test it. It won’t hurt the Bluetooth module.
But these speakers will work fine.
www.amazon.com...
The module will come with three wires, two are for the right and left speaker and the third wire is for power.
Which you can use with a battery, but I use the USB jack that is also on the Bluetooth module using the same charging cable I use for my iPhone.
The other part of this is the dial of the old radio, it looks lifeless unless you put some light inside the cabinet.
So in mine, I used two clear LED’s hot glued to each side of the inside dial face.
It looks great, I attached a screen grab from a video I just shot of me in my vintage office. The radio on the table behind me. You can see the dial lit.
These are the LED’s
www.amazon.com...
You just connect a 9 volt battery connector to the leads.
I just disconnect the battery when I’m not using it but could put some switch somewhere. The battery lasts forever just powering the LED
