I am guessing a lot of old videos have been removed. Nobody pops up on KZfaq with such polished and well-put-together video stories without a lot of practice, surely! I do love seeing how much Laura has developed over the past seven years, I am looking forward to binging my way up to the Tiny House videos she is releasing at the moment.

Awesome! Another great project and video!! Really glad to see you working around issues that pop up on camera, that's SO encouraging to viewers!

Dude, your style is so palatable. I love it. I can't wait for another.

Laura, I love your channel. Your projects are very inspiring. I'm a hobbyist woodworker from Australia. You have definitely motivated me to gain some skills in electronics and metal work. Thank you for all your great content. Also, love the record of the week. Thank you.

I love your attitude about not getting mad and drink some coffee and do some problem solving. I probably would of smashed the thing when the wires broke. I will be thinking about this, the next time something doesn't go right. Thank you for your inspiration.

I love your attitude when you ran into trouble Laura! I probably would've pulled up a schematic to find where on the circuit board the power should be connected but hey you rolled with it and came up with another plan, that is being an innovative thinker! Cool project.

Mounting that board using the cassette housing was sheer genius! Very, very nice...

This is such an original idea! Love those vintage 80's stuf!

AvE sent me too, these ideas are classic lateral thinking brilliantly executed and presented

With an attitude like yours you deserve to go a long way. And for what it's worth I think you will. Brilliant.

I love watching makers like you because you show things that I never would have even considered as a possibility. Kudos! (PS, AvE sent me)

Nice! You're quickly becoming one of my favorites. Watching from Minnesota.☺

Great video Laura, nice updating of a cool boombox. Loved the soundtrack as well. Simply perfect! Cheers!

Truly inspirational Laura! I am blown away...

so cool! my grandfather (i'm a brazilian with a big german family) had a very similar telefunken boombox in his kitchen. also had an old wooden telefunken TV and speaker set.

Another wonderful video, Laura! Thank you for sharing your work with us.

Terrific looking video and great project Laura, can't wait for more.

im glad that you said dont get angry and just think out the problem. i do alot of diy stuff. unfortunately i live in a small 2 bedroom apartment and cant afford much. so everything i do is either with a small hand drill or my trusty jigsaw. i hope to get a small desktop drill press one day. its because i have so few tools to work with that i do get frustrated easy. but just to hear someone and see someone have something go wrong and keep cool about it will help me keep cool to. thank you.

Watching some of my old favorite Maker videos for some inspiration. Really love this one

So cool that you were able to rescue that old boom box. It still sounds great! Good video, Laura.

Nice build, I have the same Bluetooth board and they are great value for money. The retro stereo is cool.. thumbs up

I turned a vintage radio into a guitar amp in a similar way, only I had a switch going between guitar in and radio. The casette covering for the bluetooth receiver is really cool

you operate on whole new level. inspiring.

Another great video! Seriously good stuff. I liked the aside about the small mess up. Great solution. Look forward to more videos. Another great soundtrack.

What a beautiful workshop. I love those drawers! You could make a video showing us all what's in there.

After some wires came loose in an electric guitar of mine years ago, I started taking pictures of electronic devices I open up, as a first step. It gives you a reference if anything goes wrong. Nice work with finding a new solution, though!

So Cool!!! Plain & simple.... So Cool!!! Greetings from South Jersey USA again!!!

Well Girl what CAN'T you do? 👍🏻 I love your " don't get mad, just drink coffee!" Keep up the good work, you are an inspiration to all!

Laura that's such a good idea reusing a old cassette player for a blue tooth system,i really like the way you think,all the best

I love your videos! Awesome build!

Just found your channel. Wow. You do incredible work. Production on your videos is fantastic as well. Keep up the good work.

Awesome video work and project Laura! gooooood job :) Sometimes these failures on the way are a pain in the ass but usually they force you to come up with interesting ideas and solutions so I like when they happen!

My kind of project! I am also messing around with some bluetooth capabilities for a project! Inspiring stuff! Thanks!

Great job Laura!! I'm hooked!

me encanta tu trabajo y tu manera de trabajar

Você trabalha muito bem,perfeita a oficina...ideias super criativas...muito bom ... You work really well, perfect the workshop ... super creative ideas ... very good

Love it! great response to unexpected problems!

Looking forward to watching all your videos

Love it!! I've got 4 of those BT-cards! One in the car, one in my livingroom and two waiting for the right inspiration! It just came with your video! I'm so making this! Just have to find an old Electrolux radio (Swedish telefunken)!!

Nice work! Easy tip for you, take clear photos of the boards before you start work. A broken wire can easily be traced with a pic. Also a volt meter would have found your 9V also.

cool music!!! love you work

Great project and workaround, you've got great video style. Thanks for the video.

I really love this one, I happen to have one of those modules on its way to me and it's nice to know it fits inside a casette :P

LAURA. GREAT BUILD !!!!!!!!

Ahhh awesome project! :) Still on my todo list to do list too, to convert an old radio into bluetooth speakers.

Awesome video! Been wanting to turn the boom box I had as a kid into a Bluetooth receiver (it still works after 20 years!!) but I'm not tech or engineer savvy 😅

Amazing videos! I'm so glad to find your channel through the Making it podcast. Keep them coming. I haven't moved to video I'm only on Instagram maybe some day.

Es asombroso lo que puede hacer, te felicito.

This is an amazing idea!!! I'm in love with your shop!!! I got two of those typography chest of drawers thing and I have a video coming about it!!! Keep it up Laura! :)

Love your style great project!!

Hi, I don't get a thing, the seaker anda the bluetooth receiver, are powerd in series or parallel?

Laura you're incredible!

This is such an awesome idea

Omahgerd...I was interested in that old wooden tool chest. Beautiful.

Your are awesome, the video is great, your intervention is so nice and genuine and I can't get enough of watching/seeing your stuff.

Cooles Video! Was für ein Board ist es, dass du da einbaust? Und in Wie fern ist das ganze jetzt Kabellos?

tele funkin cool... great job...great idea keep it up

Def going to try this one out!

3:36 - that part made my day :)

I'm hooked! I love your video production and it has inspired me to look at creating my own videos differently. You have an amazing channel and it's going to be big. This was a great project and keep up the great work. Cheers! 🍻

Genia!!! saludos desde Argentina.

Great upcycling, Laura!

Beautiful Telefunken cassette player!

Such an inspiration to watch your videos, thanks

I haven’t seen any wires or connections to Bluetooth board to control volume, play and other buttons. Does it mean you need to control it purely on the mobile phone? Thanks

wow great video, i admire your work and style, great tip about when things going wrong, i admit i cannot be so calm :)

I have a question, is the radio and cassette deck still functioning on the box?

For the wire breaking... In the future just take pictures of the layout inside what you are working on. That way you have a 'backup' of how things go together just in case of problems. On the plus side...you now have a 12vdc direct-powered boombox :)

Lovely video. Looking forward to seeing a lot more. What is the cutting blade she uses for her angle grinder? It was in the walnut lamp video as well. It looks like it could be very handy.

Nicely done!! Keep up the good work.

Hi Laura, great video! Inspired me to do the same and have bought myself an old radio too. I was just wondering if you could share / explain real quick the diagram for the circuit you ended up using? Was it your original plan to use the radio's amplifier as well as the power supply? Thanks in advance :)

+Laura Kampf Drilling into plastic and thin walled metal... You know the drill bit likes to jump through the last paper-thin wisp of material and screw through the unfinished hole. That's because the drill flute lifts the material as it cuts. It doesn't need to though, at least not right where the cutting is happening. With a small grinding wheel (one of those brown potato chip disks on a Dremel), grind or blunt the cutting edge of the bit so that when you are holding the drill bit vertical, you're holding the Dremel tool horizontal. You only need to remove enough material from the cutting edge to remove about a half mm of material. The bit will still be sharp, but it the leading edge of the flute will be scraping rather than lifting material. The equivalent effect for a circular saw blade would be to use a blade with a zero or negative tooth rake (recommended for cutting thin-walled material) instead of a standard positive tooth rake.

I like it. Nice work

Me.encantan tus trabajos.. perfectos..saludos..

Loved this video Laura! I haven't heard someone use the word ghettoblaster in a while! :)

Very cool idea!

Dope beats!

Sehr cool! Bluetooth-Moped ist bestellt, altes Radio hab ich auch noch irgendwo rumfliegen ... die Tage wird gebastelt! Danke für die Inspiration - nicht nur diese :)

Great work! And 'telefunken' is the best name ever.

Laura your videos are awesome! Your channel is going to explode! I found you from making it podcast. Great work. Subbed. I've got a small but growing channel as well. Mostly woodworking and furniture building.

awesome stuff encuragement and determination!

Hi Laura. Great channel! New subscriber here. Really great work. I'm very impressed with the music you use for your videos - where do you get those tracks from? (Sorry if you've answered this already!)

Wow! Mir ist gerade erst aufgefallen, dass du ja aus Köln kommst! Find ich cool eine "Makerin" in der Nähe zu haben:D Großartige Arbeit!

Ive thought about doing this by hard wiring one of those car audio to device transmitters . i just havnt gotten to it yet. you may have inspired me to go ahead and get that done.

Great channel! Sent from Tested :)

I have a working cd am fm tape boombox but I want to just add Bluetooth so how do I do it by just adding Bluetooth?

Great vid! Is it possible to solder a potmeter onto the board? It would be nice if the user could change the volume with the original potmeter of the old radio. (Maybe it's easier if I try to find one with a built in potmeter).

Now I really wish I still had my childhood boom box. Great concept, great build, great music, and great video. What was the Bluetooth solution? It looked like an arduino shield.

Nice! Put some open cell foam behind the speakers as audio baffling inside the cabinet to make them sound a bit richer.

Hi Laura, I want to ask you... what model is that circuit you are using? I'd like more info on that if you don't mind. Thanks, and great channel. Looking forward to watch more of your videos

Amazing idea

Awesome. Couldn't you have looked at the footage you recorded to find out where those wires were suppose to go?

You just brought back some memories from my childhood. Telefunken stereo was bad ass back in the 80`s and mid 90`s (at least in Romania along with Sanyo and some other rusians stereos) . TY. I will look up mine if it still exist some place in a dusty place and i will retrofit it with a raspi for an internet radio and MP3 player. TY for the inspiration. You just earned a +1 subscriber.

Came across your channel by accident, could something similar be done with a raspberry pi? Do know that latest version has bluetooth onboard.

thats pretty cool i want one now

Awesome new channel!

What brand of screw drivers are those???

nice job, i did the same with my boombox exept i kept the tape player but not functional (good remote holder !). It's less powerful cause running on 3.7V batteries with usb charge. And the blutooth module is also USB/SD MP3 and radio with uses the original antenna :)

While I LOVE these audio projects... a Telefunken boombox in the United states can be flipped for at LEAST $500. Those things are gold here.

Great idea.
