[rikardo1979]

Just would like to share one of my projects.

This is Roberts 747 radio made in 1990. But yes, its not an ordinary old radio anymore as you may guess
It has RPi fitted inside and from this week running RuneAudio


You can find more details how it was done and what was main goal on

That looks great! I think I like this better than my Pi2 preamp project (chuckle).

I used an old NAD 1600 preamp/tuner which has a half-empty chassis. All the circuit boards are on the right, and I used a large empty space on the left. At the time I did not have a Pi enclosure I liked, or an integrated display like the one you have from Audiophonics.

I tapped off power from one of the transformers (there were two), and I spliced the Pi player into one of the unused inputs and that was it. I was in the process of getting it better integrated with the controller board, but I was not exactly impressed with the sound, and did not have the time to investigate. It is sitting at home in a box in pieces, and there is not much to see. I may get back to it, but not right away.

I have pics of the latest acrylic case for the "headless" project in the diy section here. One version will have a 2-line display (when I get to it).
