------ Project on hold. Can't source the blue
tooth board. ------
I was gifted an old Philco Jr. radio from the
late 1920s. The original capacitors had corroded away. After
removing the internals, I found that someone had tried to fix
the device. New capacitors, fuses and wiring were done sometime
in the late 70s. One of the caps ran from the power line
directly to ground. If this had been plugged in, I think
the whole thing would have caught on fire. The wood cabinet is
in really good condition. It looks really nice. I
really want this to hang out on the shelf. Since the internals
were in bad-to-terrible shape, I decided to convert it into a
blue tooth speaker.

Time to get started.
