Project Description:
Combined 2 old medical devices for the cabinet, used 30 watt bluetooth package from PE for guts…

Design Goals:
First project, wanted to make a cool looking piece for my son

Driver Selection:
Used a kit – simpler for a newbie: 30 Watt Powered Bluetooth Speaker Package with 2-1/2″ Full-Range Drivers….Part #300-7304

Enclosure Design:
Case is a medical device from 30’s called an Electrotherm and a Galvinometer – used for measuring current.

Enclosure Assembly:
Most of the dials and guts were missing – mostly just a case with the black bakelite top panel. Speaker grills shown were original to the case – for what purpose I do not know. The piece needed more dials and knobs on the panel so I Frankensteined in another device – a Galvinometer – used for measuring current

Crossover Design:
not applicable

Conclusion:
Sound isn’t super as it has to pass through the old, partially occluded metal grills but i really wanted to keep the look. Son thinks it’s awesome
