That looks amazing! I do have one minor (and easily fixable) nitpick, though... The holes on the side of the junction box were originally designed to hold a pair of (optional) thick wire baskets to prevent to speakers from falling to the ground... There are holes in the bottom of the junction box base for the speaker wires. You may also consider tying a simple knot in the speaker wires, inside of the junction box, and the speaker housing for strain relief
Ok....this comment is going to describe my last 15 minutes. Decided to take a long soak in the tub..got a little bored and I decided to look up old drive ins that still use old speakers but couldn't find any. Then I see speaker conversion to blue tooth. You tube'd it and as my grandkids would say watch this video Grandma its strangely satisfying. I was so intrigued...from getting the screws out, to buffing all the dull metal to a glorious shine to the paint job, the snapping of the wire cutters, to the EVERY STINKIN DETAIL. What a GREAT VIDEO....LOVE LOVE LOVE the sounds without the silly music or the senseless rambling of a person talking. The best, most strangely satisfying video I have ever watched and trust me I've watched thousands. Now I gotta get out of this tub!!! P.S I would LOVE ONE OF THESE. Do you do this for people or just for video?

Hi I am doing the same resto that you did......how did you wire up the DC end of the USB cable? Once you mount the Bluetooth receiver board there is no room with the other end plugged in. I see you have wires out so I assume you cut the end buy how and where on the receiver board did you mount it? Thanks and love your work.
Putting some rubber grommets in the holes where the wires come out of the speakers would keep the wires from moving around possibly cutting them and they would have gave it a cleaner look, great job though, nice to see you moving into other areas with your restoration skill.
@@joe_diy love your work, I was probably the first to ask you to move into other restoration projects, I know toys are your thing but you do them so well it's hard not to ask for more restorations on antiquities, basically old stuff being brought back to life by someone who has the skill to do it.
I don't know if you did, but before I sealed the component bodies, I would tie the cords into a knot, put a bead of hot glue at the inside of the cord holes, or a rubber/silicone grommet of some kind, so that the cords wouldn't get pulled out after assembly.
While restoration is amazing, I didn't liked that you've placed Bluetooth module in base, so you had to drill a hole. Wasn't there enough place in speaker enclosure, to fit it there? Therefore you could use already existing potentiometer hole. Despite this, great job.
If your running a power lead to the blue tooth device ....... Then why not run a speaker lead from a blue tooth party speaker to the original speakers ? Then you don't need to drill original equipment ....
Looks Great!
I've always wanted to restore a set of these to use as rear surround speakers in my home theater!
I absolutely LOVE the red and silver paint scheme. Beautiful work, as always.

Outstanding! Would of liked to see a list of the Bluetooth parts you used!
That's pretty cool
Perfeito! Trabalho primoroso.
Parabéns e obrigada pelo vídeo.

Nice...👍.
Awesome!! Thinking about doing the same thing to mine been searching for a Bluetooth device what make did you use haven't seen that one!
Awesome Job there's nothing you can't restore
O trust me, there are some projects that never make it on here.
I saw on the Bluetooth board, it's powered by 5-27 volts, . What did you use for a power supply?
Congratulations on hitting 100k :D
Thanks! Took a while but I'm there!
Put a little bit of solder on the tip, then put the tip on the part you want to solder and wick the solder into the line, takes a lot less time.
Thank you!
Is there another video showing what you used for the Bluetooth radio?
Isn’t a toy car restoration but it’s really cool 👍
Would like to know where and what circuit board to use and does it have a recharable battery to run this stand alone , thanks , Glenn
can you tell me where to get the parts so I can convert mine?

Good idea! Might have to try that on my next one!

Where did you get the module any information will be appreciated
Where did you get the Bluetooth board?
Not fair dude. You are doing this at work while we who know how to do it/retired don't have access to your equipment. ... but nice job.
What wire stripper are you using?
Great work!! What brand bluetooth speaker did you use? I'm restoring an old rca radio and I'd like to add a bluetooth speaker to it
To be honest I don't remember. I think it was a 4inch speaker off amazon.
@@joe_diy no prob! there's a bunch of them on Amazon, guess I'll have to sift through reviews! You do great work 👍

list of electronics please and how to wire everything. i have speakers and want to do the same.
You should've added ports for USB and MP3 units as well as a 1/8" socket to a plug-in walkman (CD, cassette, radio).
Looking good! Does the aluminium casing interfere or inhibit the Bluetooth signal?
I would have never drilled that hole, but have looked to integrate it in some other hole/way.
So. Sweet 🎂. Very. Nice 👍. Work. I. Do. Remember. But. Did. Not. Look. Like. That. Nice 👍. Work. Brother. Lee
wow

All that trouble making volume control knobs .....
They are the same as electric guitar volume knobs , all styles are available and very cheap
чего так дрожат руки? автор после НГ снимал?)
If your running a power lead to the blue tooth device .......
Then why not run a speaker lead from a blue tooth party speaker to the original speakers ?
