Title: First Touch Screen Jukebox - ALMOST COMPLETE
Post by: Bobby115 on December 20, 2009, 03:12:36 pm

Here is my first crack at a Touch Screen Jukebox :-)

It was an old Philco Radio built in 1941 .............Almost done. Just need to add a few buttoms and a volume control.


What do you think?

Sweet, but didnt it kill you to cut into an old antique like that Philco?

It's a shame it couldn't be restored, but at least it didn't end up in the dump.

I think it's very nice looking.  Any reason it's not turned on?

I like it. Too bad you couldn't use one of those Mimo mini touchscreens. It may have fit in the old radio tuner section without having to extend it up like that.

But, you framed the LCD nicely. It fits very well.

Nicely done!

Aahhh...I love it!  The frame on the LCD is an excellent touch.

I would love to get my hands on something like that and try to convert/restore it.  Wouldn't mind trying the same with an arcade cab, either.  But first things first...already have one in the works!  :)
