Hello,
My son is interested in making things that his iPod can play through. Right now he is interested in taking an old radio, pulling out the guts, put in new guts that allow him to attach his iPod. So he has new technology (iPod) playing through old technology (the old radio).
He came up with one in which he used cheap computer speakers and put them in the empty radio case. By doing this all the proper connections and controls were already in place. He just had to fit it all in the radio body.
But, he wants more freedom of design...meaning putting the volume knob (and any others) where he wants. The store bought computer speakers do not allow these control to be separated.
I know next to nothing about any of this.
Could someone point us to schematics or offer help as to how to go about getting the proper components and connect them?
Thank you very much.
