Jukebox nearly finished - more photos
froggerman:
Do you have a link to the 'colour organs' / LED lights you are using?
Nice little video. Keep the pictures coming.
clonestar:
The software I am using is Virtual Music Jukebox. The light organs came from the discovery store
www.thediscoverystore.co.uk but as you can see they are having a revamp and don't have the lamps listed on their site. Our local branch (Cwmbran - South Wales) has loads of them at

I started work on the bottom speaker grille tonight. First I cut a piece of hardboard to match the speaker cutouts painted it black on one side and stuck on audio transparent cloth with a spray on glue:
I also painted the edges of the speaker cutouts black.
Then I pushed this into the gap at the front of the speakers and begun fastening down the metal grille by screwing on flat alu bars. As you can see I am only about 2 thirds across. The metal didn't come big enough to do in one piece but it doesn't really matter as I wanted the vertical bars anyway and I can join the grille behind this.
Of course at this point I had to crank the volume right up to check for rattles and now my ears are ringing a bit. (no rattles though!)
MiKman:
man those lights are cool. I can't wait for the finished product. It's really gonna have the classic look you are going for no doubt in my mind. great job!
clonestar:
Finished the grille and test rigged the bottom lights on one side only:
The lights at the bottom are not sound activated (although you can get a module for them) but they switch through about 8 different patterns at random and you can get some excellent effect by luck. If fact most of the time you would think they were sound activated.
Remember that the front edge of these lights will be behind a piece of clear perspex, partially mirrored on the back so the effect will be a bit more subtle than in these pictures.
