Techo Geeks hack solution to playing an mp3 on a tube radio
#4

That certainly is a cool, and "expensive" solution if you didn't already own the generator, but I have another solution that hits the oposite end of the spectrum...

We can call it the "lo-tech...Red-neck" solution.

You will need an old, or new, earphone with a mini connector on the end.
Crack open the earphone, or cut the speaker end off.

Strip back the wires... ground and source.

open your radio and solder the ends of the earphone wires to the two contacts on the speaker... (of if you really want to be "redneck" about it, just use duct tape and bubblegum)

Close your radio and leave the mini connector end outside the case.

Plug in your MP3 player and play it...

It will work, but I don't recommend it. I just wanted to show an opposite end solution.

Thanks.
