Laura´s Bluetooth Boombox

- here is how i built a bluetooth reciever into an old boombox. i wanted a cheap and cable free solution for my workshop.
i had to rethink the powersupply because i had a bit of a fail-situation in the middle of the project...but it was still a lot of fun!

I am guessing a lot of old videos have been removed. Nobody pops up on TH-cam 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.
Nope, never deleted a video
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!
+I Like To Make Stuff thanks bob! i´m happy you enjoyed it!
+Laura Kampf Bob and GH.Dirty are right, real-life commentary on mistake and adaptations are a very pertinent addition to maker videos, and I think this applies also to videos that are especially well crafted, like yours;
Keep on trucking !
Celmar
thanks! that is great to hear!!
I completely agree, Bob. You all both are incredibly talented.
DIY all stars around!
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.
+Mike Kapotsy cheers, mike...i am just very impatient when it comes to stuff like that haha:) thanks for watching!
Terrific looking video and great project Laura, can't wait for more.
+Clickspring thank you!! the next video is planned already :)
Mounting that board using the cassette housing was sheer genius! Very, very nice...
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
sounds like a cool project
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.
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.
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.
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!
+Jeff Mansfield that is a very good idea!
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)
sweet! that´s great feedback! thanks, john
By the way, AvE send me too. Good hint of him. (Though I'm German...)
With an attitude like yours you deserve to go a long way. And for what it's worth I think you will. Brilliant.
+Alan Wright thanks you alan! i appreciate that a lot
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.
+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.
So cool that you were able to rescue that old boom box. It still sounds great! Good video, Laura.
+Bruce A. Ulrich i have a thing for those old boomboxes...can´t pass them on fleamarkets :)
thank you!
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.
+charlie Thomas thanks, charlie! that is so rewarding to hear!
AvE sent me too, these ideas are classic lateral thinking brilliantly executed and presented
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.
+Get Hands Dirty ...i am a bit nervous about that intervention...haha. so thanks a lot for your kind words!!! new video next week :)
Can't wait to see it!
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 :)
What a beautiful workshop. I love those drawers!
You could make a video showing us all what's in there.
Omahgerd...I was interested in that old wooden tool chest. Beautiful.
This is such an original idea! Love those vintage 80's stuf!
me encanta tu trabajo y tu manera de trabajar
Dude, your style is so palatable. I love it. I can't wait for another.
My kind of project! I am also messing around with some bluetooth capabilities for a project! Inspiring stuff! Thanks!
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.
Watching some of my old favorite Maker videos for some inspiration. Really love this one
Oh cool!
So Cool!!! Plain & simple.... So Cool!!! Greetings from South Jersey USA again!!!
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
Beautiful Telefunken cassette player!
Nice! Put some open cell foam behind the speakers as audio baffling inside the cabinet to make them sound a bit richer.
you operate on whole new level. inspiring.
Truly inspirational Laura! I am blown away...
Você trabalha muito bem,perfeita a oficina...ideias super criativas...muito bom ...
You work really well, perfect the workshop ... super creative ideas ... very good
Looking forward to watching all your videos
+Jim W. nice!
Nice build, I have the same Bluetooth board and they are great value for money. The retro stereo is cool.. thumbs up
Another wonderful video, Laura! Thank you for sharing your work with us.
+Bill Van Loo cheers, bill! next one coming soon :)
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. GREAT BUILD !!!!!!!!
Great upcycling, Laura!
+Humus Woodwork thank you! can´t wait to see your next video!
+Laura Kampf Thank you, I appreciate it :)
there was no need to dispose of the old power supply, just needed to modify it a bit and you could use it again. But great job totally love the way it stayed mostly intact. 😀👍
thanks!
Es asombroso lo que puede hacer, te felicito.
Like the advice.. ran into a setback when I accidentally "fried" the controller to my ebike with a 48 volt battery instead of the intended 36 volt. I made a modification to the battery with a high voltage "off" switch and had to buy a new controller and a spare ebike motor.
Gonna test drive "version 2" tomorrow.
3:36 - that part made my day :)
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.
+Brian McCauley thank you brian! i hope you are right :)
you have a nice channel yourself - good stuff!
Thank you. I've got some learning to do when it comes to video production. The woodworking is there though, haha.
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!
+Cactus! workshop thank you so much! you are right...those fails can lead to really great ideas!
I find the best music make for better work ,i listen to county ,old rock and 80`s music
stevey nicks ,bob segar and the silver bullet band .now i am building a work table and storage for my tools .thank you for the idea on the table ,i put locking wheels on it ,thank you again
+david piotrowski i love country! have fun with your project, glad you get some inspiration out of my videos
I do ,i love you because you have a trade that me and others that i work with .i have been at my job for 25 yrs now ,now i teach my trade to anyone that want `s to know how to put two pieces of wood together .Laure i love the trades and i think you are doing a great job keep up the great work .thank you so munch .kiss your dog for me
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! :)
+Giaco Whatever nice! can´t wait to see what you made with those typo chests!
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 video Laura, nice updating of a cool boombox. Loved the soundtrack as well. Simply perfect! Cheers!
+jeffrey kuhn wow, thanks mate! glad you like it!
Great job Laura!! I'm hooked!
+Paul Spirito thanks, paul!
Great work! And 'telefunken' is the best name ever.
+Nunya Fishness haha, it really is
Laura you're incredible!
Me.encantan tus trabajos.. perfectos..saludos..
Love it! great response to unexpected problems!
+Rian Corcoran thanks you! i have to say that i kinda saw it coming but i was so excited about that project that i didn´t take the time to prevent it from happen...next time i would secure everything with some hot glue before starting :)
Great project and workaround, you've got great video style. Thanks for the video.
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.
Awesome. Couldn't you have looked at the footage you recorded to find out where those wires were suppose to go?
This is such an awesome idea
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.
+Andrei Sima awesome! good luck with finding that beauty!
cool music!!! love you work
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)!!
+Torsan1977 oh man! to build one into the car is such a great idea! haha, good luck with finding that electrolux radio!
Telefunken is such a great name for a tv/radio company haha
+mike gager haha, yes-that is true!
METRIC MIX. Sounds like a band o song o club awesome
Ich benutze das gleiche Telefunken Radio in meiner Küche, ich werd den auch mal aufrüsten, super idee!
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!
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).
I love your videos! Awesome build!
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 :)
Ahhh awesome project! :)
Still on my todo list to do list too, to convert an old radio into bluetooth speakers.
+Börzel Makes thanks! go for it - it is a lot of fun.
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.
+Brian Prusa thank you, brian! very much appreciated!
Great video! So very good! I also like your coffee suggestion. Mmmm coffee.
+Awesome Wood Things coffee is my number one problem-solver! :) cheers, mate!
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.
I wish you would have spoken a step by step process. I have a large collection of boom boxes. But I don’t know what you did by watching this video
Def going to try this one out!
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
I'm trying to scoop out an old Skantic boombox that isn't working right. The speakers are fine, but the tape player and volume knob have seen better days. Turns out there's a circuit board covering the cassette deck, and a whole bunch of cables holding said circuit board more or less in place, so it's really hard to scoop the cassette deck out. I'm trying not to have to cut all the cables, but I might have to. It's a jungle in there.
+Tasteful Tuna yeah, its a challenge with these kind of projects...good luck and have fun with it :)
You do better soldering joint that a lot of electronics hobbyist, great job !
i love to hear that!
I know this isn't a new video but new subscriber, and a bit of advice working on anything electronic. Anything pertinent to the project should be photographed, so when a wire gets pulled, you'll know where it goes. Great videos though. Can't get enough!
Hate to see you having to work in the cold! Great shop though.
Just found your channel. Wow. You do incredible work. Production on your videos is fantastic as well. Keep up the good work.
+Michael Morrow thanks, michael!
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.
+Mike Gregory thank you, mike!
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 😅
Anyone know the music used in this video? She normally lists it, but not this time, and I'm totally in love with this jam.
Would really like to know as well, none of my 'music identify' apps seems to know.
Nice! You're quickly becoming one of my favorites. Watching from Minnesota.☺
Nicely done!! Keep up the good work.
Genia!!! saludos desde Argentina.
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.
Thanks for the coffee advise
thats pretty cool i want one now
awesome girl!!! great project!!
thanks!!
you are very clever. and talented too..
+Tom S :)
Great channel! Sent from Tested :)
Whenever I open an old electronic device to do some repair, I always take pictures before I start, just in case some wire comes loose.
Very cool idea!
+christopher Suttles thank you!
I just buy a $6 rechargeable Bluetooth receiver off Ebay and connect it to the Aux inputs on the boombox. Works fine.
Great idea.
I love this idea
laura....u r beautiful and smart.....beauty with brain....i wish u for the best
Such an inspiration to watch your videos, thanks
