Roberts 747

Just would like to share one of my projects.

This is Roberts 747 radio made in 1990. But yes, its not an ordinary old radio anymore as you may guess :)
It has RPi fitted inside and from this week running RuneAudio :)

I have my Dads R747 in the garage - same colour too. Closest sound to the Hacker Sovereign (or VHF Herald) I could find.
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way...The time has gone, The song is over, Thought I'd something more to say...

I love it.Its very well made, used wood on sides and this orange colored leather. Sounds very nice and perfect for radio listening or even Tidal HiFi when I work on computer.
Sometimes there is no point to turning on our main system, especially with the "heating unit"(Sugden A21) :grin:
