Well, that was a long two weeks, but the first iteration is now nearly complete. Still need to complete the following before I install it: I tried a DTF heat transfer film for the face plate, and it (obviously from the pics) didn't work well. I've now ordered suitable ink and a screen, and...

Made some progress here and there over the last week, and it's starting to take shape! Few shots of the front frame installed in the chassis with all 3 OLED screens installed Designed / printed / installed the component tray in the chassis. From top -> bottom, left -> right: TinySine AudioB...

My Fusion is a bit rusty, but I managed to generate a viable toolpath. The faceplate is milling right now out of 1/8in 6061. :) Fingers crossed that the puny 2mm endmill I'm using doesn't break!

Had a chance to do some work on this project over the weekend. Knocked out the CAD drawing for the frame that sits behind the face plate support bracket that will secure everything to the chassis and holds the screens. For what looks like a straightforward bunch of rectangles, it has a lot of...

I've seen this in practice on a number of receivers and some of my test equipment in fact. That would solve the clearance to the displays above the selector switch, but not below to the chassis unfortunately. I only have ~16mm total diameter to work with, whereas most of the readily available...

Since my OP, the mock-up faceplate (dual-color extrusion faltered, so pardon the sharpie) and its support bracket finished printing. I dry fit some of the components I've amassed, and its looking pretty close to what I'd envisioned! IMG_20230402_205801_526 by lurp posted Apr 2, 2023 at 9:30 PM...

Thanks for the interest and great ideas! Not something I have any experience with. I hope to learn something new with every project, and that's probably what it'll be this time... Indeed, the faceplate is precisely the dimensions of a single DIN outer bezel. I'm using a frame from the...

About the only thing I love as much as vintage, 70s-era audio is 70s & 80s-era cars, but I haven't found much stereo-wise that a) looks the part, and b) isn't junk. So I've decided I'm just going to build my own :) Styled after my beloved Marantz receivers (a 2015 in this case), controlled by a...
