They use something like this in tent City Maricopa county jail. Well they used to, IDK about now. The treadmill and stationary bikes were converted and hooked up to the TVs . While walking, running or biking you and your fellow inmates could watch TV

So nice. I keep mooding boombox all the time. Very nice video.

This is so complicated ! Where do I connect the echo input to the battery ?

The simplest way would be to install a Bluetooth cassette

Ive been looking for a video that explains how to make a boom box into a Bluetooth speaker. But everyone skips the most important parts of this type of video. Does anyone have a link for a video that explains how to convert a boombox tona Bluetooth stereo, but explains it in a way that is understandable for people that dont know anything about stereo equipment?

As a guy who has no way to make mix tapes anymore, this is an absolute DREAM COME TRUE!!!! THANKS FOR THE REVIEW!!!

I did it with 2 AA batteries 🔋

Hi, I am working on something like this what is the little black thing hooked to the buck booster going from output to the converter please reply I understand all of it but I do not know what it is you did not say anything about it nice build good info thanks.

You should try updating the speakers too!

It has been a year

And he never came back 😢

Looks nice

This is awesome, hope to see an update soon

Just got this Exact Cassette adapter, unfortunately it didn’t work on my 1980s Panasonic BoomBox. Any ideas ?

If you can generate enough to make your house power meter turn backward$? we'd all get more exercise! LOL

Very cool to bring new life back in to the old school Ghetto blasters.. Nice...🤘👍

found a family iska stereo probably from the 70s to 80s light turns on but the dial screen is broken the read head of the casette is messed up and swithing modes just makes it play static its been sitting for about 12 to 13 years theres also a nokia vcr and some other big thing with a bunch of parrarel pcbs inside

Nice!

i will definitely try this but for authenticity of it, i might try to use one of the OG switches to turn the amp board on.

So this ruins the cassette player, which is part of the appeal of a bookbox

i have a few boombox videos on my channel.

hello, that's really nice idea, that have inspired me, and my question is: what battery do you use for these projects?

Well done 👍🏆. Great work thanks.

Glad i found this, i was about to start tearing my boombox apart - i didnt know this technology was available 😏👍

Nice job! One thing I'd add: Before gluing the door shut, I might have slipped in an old cassette (perhaps with spindles from the mechanism) to fill the window. It would look more authentic than those empty holes where the spindles used to be. A cleverly titled label could be an option, too. Not to mention how many cassette types and colors you could try to get the right look.

I need to do this

4 minutes in and hasn't said anything

Bravo! We are kindred souls! I love giving new life to old technology! They generally look better in my opinion and why not up cycle when you can! Thanks for showing us your way of integrating!

It will be very cool to see the finished project. Thanks!

I have a Sanyo M9935K, I am in the process of converting it to Bluetooth, I am not able to find out where the input tap on the other side of the preamp is. Can you help me please?

I USUALLY SKIP THESE VIDEOS WITH VOLUME ISSUES. IT SURE SUCKS TO HAVE TO TURN VOLUME UP SO HIGH TO HEAR THE VIDEO. THEN NEXT VIDEO ON OTHER CHANNEL, WITH CORRECT VOLUME, IS INSANE LOUD. I WONT SUB FOR NOW.

Cool you're making these useful again. That 8 Track is groovy man. 🙂

That's awesome dude

This is SUCH a helpful resource! Exactly what I was looking for. You even wired it into the pre-amp so the physical play button needs to be pressed down to output, that's even cooler than I was expecting to be able to do without intimate knowledge of the board! Have you worked with any bluetooth boards that you've powered through the power supply on the board itself? Having to open up the back to manually turn on the receiver any time I want to use it feels like it would get grating after a while, I'd love find a way to power the BT receiver passively from the same battery input as everything else. Thanks so much for the video!

I just finished one and had to come on here to see if and how someone else has done it. I ended up connecting my positives from the speaker leads from cheap dollar store bluetooth radio to the soldered pins on the aux of the boom box. It worked but sounded terrible. Turns out those pins are negative. After I changed them it sounds good but not as good as playing a cd in it. I believe the outside part of the rca jack on my aux are positive. Hopefully I can connect to that or better yet splice on some rca Jack's and plug them in. I wanted to avoid plugs but now I know I can make it work. Been wanting to try this but avoiding it fearing my result would be throwing it all in the garbage. Great video

Haha I laughed so much at the pinkeye comment, great vid keep them coming

I've just bought my first Boombox from eBay it's a Toshiba RT-120s I'm really excited to receive it. I'm 39 and I remember my Dad having loads of tapes and recording his fave songs from the radio. Happy times. Thanks for doing this video :)

I’m gonna do this to my old…well…outdated BOSE CD player…actually gonna convert the batteries also to Milwaukee power tools batteries and splice in a Bluetooth receiver.

Noice

Hi . Very impressive all your videos. !! I like to add your idea in my Panasonic rx-dt707 but this boombox requires 10 batteries D equal to 15V . Any suggestions of batteries in the market..?? Thanks

bro i wanna mine bitcoin with this...can i dm you somewhere? need more infos. will be paying.

I wonder if 8 AA,s could jump start a car.

This fuckin is weird

It's been a while since this was posted and I see that your interests have gone elsewhere. I'm now I'm trying to solve, generally speaking, point of use electricity generation problems without a lot of foundational electrical engineering theory. I'm a successfully clever guy but I don't *really* understand what's happening here in the way that I do with my career expertise. I appreciate your practical demonstration as I'm far more likely to mimic than actually innovate.

I love this video. This s great! Thanks!

😀🎶

Could you make a tutorial with step by step on how to connect the circuity/wiring, please? I am having trouble making a simple bluetooth speaker (NOT battery powered) I would be so thankful!

Could you charge a car battery?

Boombox is a ridiculous idea

I did same thing to couple speakers then moved on building a stream box
