Hallo #Fediverse,
dieses #radio haben wir von einem #dachboden in #berlin gerettet.
Es ist ziemlich abgerockt.
Frage an die #hifi community:

Sollen wir es vollständig restaurieren und die neue Technik einbauen
oder
Nur die losen Dinge befestigen, den #endzeit #charme erhalten
und so eine Art Ratte mit modernem Innenleben bauen?

Looks like the Coolermaster SK620 is going to work for my Tandy 1500HD restomod!

I'll have to print a combination bezel/bracket to hold the keyboard where I want it, but that shouldn't be too bad. It's about 1mm short of the correct width, and about 5-6mm too short, but I can fill that gap in easily. I may have to cut the post in the center of the Tandy chassis, but luckily I still have several on the perimeter I can use for mounting.

I'm also making progress fitting the Pi. Depending on which 12V UPS I use, I'm either mounting the Pi and battery in a "stack" where the original HDD and FDD went, or putting the Pi in that location and moving the UPS under the original battery location. Got the USB and HDMI panel mounts figured out too.

Potential trouble points: getting power AND video to the screen. I might resort to passing 12V through the screen hinges (one negative, one positive).

Fun stuff!

De 120 a 450 caballos: el Volvo P1800ES Norrsken es el shooting brake que Volvo nunca construyó 🇸🇪⚡ Solo 5 unidades al año por 300.000€ #Volvo #Restomod #P1800ES

Another day, another weird computer conversion.

This is the shell of a Tandy 1500HD I got cheap (complete, but horribly corroded inside from water exposure; no salvaging any original electronics unfortunately). So, I figured I'd at least do something cool with the housing!

I've sourced a 7" LCD display, which I'll gut for the panel. Already have a Raspberry Pi 4B for the "brains". Powering both with a mini UPS and a 12Vdc > 5Vdc buck converter for the Pi. LCD draws 5W, Pi wants 15W, mini UPS puts out 25W so I've got room there.

I have a couple used low profile mechanical keyboards on the way too. Will gut one and mount it in the original keyboard location.

I still need to figure out ports and such, but I've got lots of options there. Goal is to have Ethernet, 2x USB, and HDMI out, plus a USB-C port for charging. One USB port will be used internally for the keyboard. Headphone jack is optional. Also, no trackpad on this one!
