This is a nice internet radio I built. It can tune into internet radio stations from all over the world. It's built into the case of an old valve radio and the controls work pretty much the same way they did in radios back then.

Hardware


Vintage valve radio

I bought an old radio off eBay. It's from the 30ies and was manufactured in the UK by "His Master's Voice".

I removed the old electronics and speaker, and left only the wooden case.



Laptop

The core of the radio is an old 10" laptop. I removed the LCD panel from the casing and fitted it with the laptop in a wooden frame. The 10" panel is a bit too large for the 8" window, but it still fits in the radio case.

Controls

The radio is controlled by two potentiometers (tuning and volume) and a rotary encoder (band). A second rotary encoder isn't currently used.

The controls are connected to a micro controller (ATmega328) on an Arduino Uno prototyping board
