Vintage Electronics

Hello there TBHS fans and community members!

 

In tomorrow's episode, you'll get to watch Ben work on a pretty neat piece of vintage electronics. What piece of electronics is it, you ask? You'll have to wait and see. What we here at the Ben Heck Show would like to know is, what piece of vintage electronics would you like to see repaired or revamped on the show? Have you had an interesting idea for combining an antiquated piece of electronics with a new technology? Let us know in the comments below!

    I would love to bring my dads 70's Pioneer Stack System into the 21st Century by adding an Internet connection and turning the old analogue radio tuner into a dab digital radio, add a USB and card reader…

    I'd like to see more projects based on more analog / radio type vintage electronics. Such as an old tube radio repair / mod or something of that nature.

    I would love to bring my dads 70's Pioneer Stack System into the 21st Century by adding an Internet connection and turning the old analogue radio tuner into a dab digital radio, add a USB and card reader for mp3 playback from storage devices, but most importantly it needs some form of remote control for radio tuning, volume control, track skip etc, probably over Bluetooth through a mobile device app.

    If you find out that the RPi Zeros are back in stock somewhere, let us know! We'd love to get our hands on one... or five. Sadly, we are stuck along with many others, waiting for them to come back in stock as we have yet to get one.
