Antique radio receivers retain a significant charm, and though they do not carry huge value today they were often extremely high quality items that would have represented a significant investment for their original owners. This guy acquired just such a radio, a Philco 37-11 made in 1937, and since it was it[sic] a bit of a state he set about giving it some updated electronics. Stripping away the original electronics, he gave it a modern amplifier with Bluetooth capabilities, and a Raspberry Pi.

One of the coolest applications for a Pi I've seen.

    He also replaced the radio tuner with canned MP3s. Though it was only an AM tuner... so maybe the MP3s can compete on quality?
