In this project video I will show you how I turned a 50 year old radio from the flea market into a beautiful modern internet radio with touchscreen. That means I will show you how I refurbished the radio and created a new electronics system around an ESP32 Microcontroller and an STM32 Touchscreen LCD board. The end result was definitely worth the time and money ;-) Let's get started!
