incredibly nice. would love something like this. orange 1970s and blue 1980s stereo gear were both nice in their own ways.

I agree this is incredibly gorgeous :O
Congratulations for such a beautiful creation. I myself used to love these hi-fi systems back in the 80s/90s, so your build brought great memories.

Do the graphic eq sliders work for real? and the volume sliders?
Just read your Reddit post about your build, all works for real! :D

EDIT: you must post a video of it in action and tinkering with the options!

@Addison good form, very good form! That is truly stunning. I wish I had a CNC machine even more now.

I really like the aesthetic of the 70s one too. Something about the knobs I think.

I'll bet you could even play pong on that.
