@dorkvonwaterfall what kind of steam power generator do you use to turn on this contraption? :-)

I think there's a hand-crank on the side.

JVC DX500EU

I tried googling this model number you posted and absolutely nothing.

Edit: this is a JVC CX500EU

But you found some known faces, didn't you? :-)

edmaul69

@meleu yes. Funny how that happened. Once i changed the d to a c then it came up correctly. So i had a cx500us as i was in the us.

Haha ;)
Is it intended to be portable? Think about the battery capacity you can build in!

Really, nice housing!
How much is the screen diagonal?
In my latest build I realised a small monitor that is switchable on/off via GPIO and offers also full HDMI support if you connect a monitor with HDMI/DVI input ;)

@cyperghost they are called tv boomboxes. With a handle and designed to sit upright when not watching tv. They are pretty hefty though. I wouldnt have ever carried mine around.

@edmaul69 Sorry.... You don't saw my big grin as I wrote those lines ... I set IRONIC mode for this. I think the youtube video is self explaining. What do you suggest is it weight in original state?
I know these from my school time ;)

edmaul69

@cyperghost sorry, i was more explaining it for others who stumble on this.

Are you going to load the commodore 64 tapes from the tape deck instead of keeping them on the sd card? lol (hey that would be awesome and you know it ;) )

cyperghost

@akafox Well that's possible.... Microcontroller for PWM input attached to I2C (sadly the Pie is not reliable to work with PWM input, timing problems!) Maybe with slow bitstream on tapes it is possible without external hardware!
Here we go it is made for an Arduino

Now i want one of these...

@edmaul69 it's so beautiful...
