Upgrade Arduino Vintage Radio

This is my new and improved Arduino project.
Using Plexiglass and a laser cutter. I was able to create a great design for this project making that whole vintage radio type look.
I exposed the wires to make it seem robotic.
Also to make sure i didn't mess up cutting the plexiglass i practiced on cardboard.
Once i saw that everything was perfect I spray painted the front and back black and the center pieces red to give it a dark type mood.
The radio is powered by
the Arduino and it actually works like a radio it is powered on by the button and the dial changes the song three times.

Here is my Patch and Presentation

In total all I payed for this project was around $12 since all I needed was already in the Arduino so all I had to pay for was the Plexiglass.

Arduino Music Machine





Here is my Music Machine so far. Using cut pieces of cardboard and then taping them together and spray painting them lime green then black I was able to create a vintage looking radio.

The radio is powered by the arduino board that will eventually be able to play a song by pressing the button and changing the song by turning the dial.
