Record player housing

The loose components look a bit messy, so I wanted a nice housing for codplayer. This Philips record player, bought in a thrift store and unlikely to work, seemed like a good donor.

Built April 19, 1966:

The electrical connections are a bit scary, as 220V are coursing through a lot of unisolated solder points. I wouldn't dare connect this to mains power.

The brown thing is the rear side of the voltage selector from the previous picture. Hidden behind the circuit board is the main power switch on the volume knob. The grey bundle of wires go to yet more unprotected solder points just next to the low-power amplification stage.

Loose parts and the lower half of the body after a lot of violence:

It turns out to be very little space in the record player to fit a 5.25" full-height CD-ROM, so I have to cheat by just placing the body around the CD-ROM unit. Two more holes are yet to be cut into the power cord compartment at the upper left by the time of that picture.

Here the holes are finished and the body has been flipped over to install the Raspberry Pi in the power cord compartment. The compartment lid will protect the raspie.

The gear just about fit into the body:

The silver USB wire exits the box to connect to the DAC. The other USB wire goes to the USB hub in the box, which connects the USB-SATA adapter and the wifi dongle (lower left). The GPIO cable is not yet used, but will eventually connect a small circuit board to link up an IR sensor and an LCD display.

The finished and polished housing:

I've still to figure out what to use the power/volume and tone knobs for, or the indicator light. Any ideas?
