Radio conversion service

One of my customers is very good with electronics, he buys old push button radios and converts them to blue tooth, at the moment he is converting my old 70s Philips radio, basically you connect the radio to your phone by Bluetooth download the DAB radio app then you have 1000s of radio stations and you can play your own music and make and receive phone calls all though 50watts per channel
If anyone is interested in one of his radios let me know and I’ll try to post up some picture o and the cost, I think they are about £120 posted

 

Can anyone send him a radio to convert Baz?

 

Those £10 hobbies that fit in your cigarette lighter socket connect your phone to radio

 

Not if it’s a 1950s 60s 70s mono radio it doesn’t

 

I'd doubt you're getting 50W out of it, unless your radio's made by Marshall . 3-5W, more like. Can you still get Henry Hall's music Night on the radio?

 

Those £10 bobbies are great if your radio has FM and is working but no good if your radio is mono mw/lw or doesn’t work at all, he strips everything out and then makes them a Bluetooth system which you use with your smartphone ,

 

Snotts the inner workings of the radio are completely stripped out and rebuilt, it has 50wats per channel, and is Bluetooth

 

This is what I’m talking about

look at the price

 

Sounds interesting @Barry Haynes. what sort of money does he charge ?


I did an old radio that had stopped working, used the original speaker and on/off volume button and added a wireless charger to the underside of the case

 

here is mine, the buttons have been glued and are just dummies now , I’m absolutely delighted I have downloaded the DAB radio app and I can play YouTube, Spotify etc the sound is fantastic

wiring couldn’t be easier red power black negative 2 speaker wires left right
and obviously no aerial

 

Can you get Jimmy Saville on it?

 

Yes at 50watts per channel

 

Thats a fair price for a retro fit of e.g.https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/11265511...QOYZ9GYR8i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY, or you could just leave the radio alone and hide one of these under the dash.

 

That’s ok Mike if you have the classic retro push button radio in the first place

Now then Now then!

 

Can you ask if he can do a conversion on a head unit with a cassette player in it? I've got one in my 944 and would like the dab/Bluetooth but also keep the cassette player.

 

He doesn’t usually do conversions on peoples units he did one on mine because I kept on and on until he agreed, what he does is buy old push button radios, converts them and then sells the units, I’ll ask but I already know what he’ll say
