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.

I have an old radio - not even American - with a dried up volume pot. Everything else is working fine, it seems. It is on my list to find the pot or fix a wrong one... and yes, I love the sound.
