Only $5 for 10 PCBs and every new member get $5 bonus. + Express 24 hour / 48 hour service on pcbway.com ➠ ➠ ➠ In this video, I present an SMD version of the very popular Bluetooth Module Boards that adds Bluetooth to a tube radio using a readily available module. This version includes an added signal booster, and also has the magic eye switch incorporated on the same PCB, and keeps the entire modification fully reversible.
Adding Bluetooth makes a tube radio far more versatile and ensures these classic beauties continue to have a place in our modern lives. Plus, with vintage gear back in style, the demand for these mods and restorations is higher than ever. Preserving these treasures and keeping them out of the trash is a win in my book.
