The DAB radio I used in that was a very beaten up looking ting in a local charity shop, for £4 I just couldn't resist it! It worked & sounded rather good in fact despite it being mono. My better half said, "It's a bit dull isn't it? Do you think you might have any bits & pieces to jazz it up a bit?". That kind of opened the floodgates to some degree. The chassis is from a reproduction wall hanging Binatone landline phone which never worked properly. PSU is a 5V wallwart, speaker surround is an old coffee jar lid, speaker pod is from the scrap bin & would have been part of an ROV thruster so has probably been down to at least 300 meters. Some bits & pieces which we all have to a greater or lesser extent in the workshop. The two spike tubes were from old garden solar lights that no longer worked. The brackets holding the tubes were salvaged from the scrap bin. At the bottom is something I saw as a kit but very cheap, about £8 I think, its a spectrum/sound level light display, the cats are fascinated by it!
Thanks for the kind comments & as others have already said, its yours, do as you please. Like the rainbow KB, a splash of colour is always a good thing.
