I built something similar, but build was intended for testing 12 volt radio equipment. It has built in speakers and a small faceplate radio where audio can be plugged in. its main use case is testing CB radios, but I also use it to test old cassette decks 8 track players to make sure they output some kind of audio. Its completely portable. Its was built mainly from scavenged parts from thrift store purchases and a few items from AliExpress.
That's awesome! I have used mine to power up a stereo on the bench but wasn't checking for audio and such. That's cool to have a whole dedicated setup for that.
9v would work great for things like lights, fans, horns, etc. Things that are too voltage specific. But for testing things like stereo's or gauge clusters, where voltage is more sensitive, it'a nice having something that's 12v and with more capacity than a normal 9v.
Yep. Most things important enough to test won't fit in a pocket anyways. I made this so that I have the proper voltage and easy to turn on/off switches and buttons. I too used to use stripped wires straight to battery terminals but liked the idea of classing things up a bit. To each their own though. Just sharing my project. Cheers.

9v works fine too

@@seandavisdesign at a junkyard??! pocket it and toss it if it don't work right. LB/$:)

@@seandavisdesign It is a lovely little box... I have to say:)
