Here’s how the Seagull Retrofit connects to your radio.
The PCB connects to the existing control knobs and provides a user experience similar to the original radio. It also drives the dial lights – up to four Type 47 incandescent bulbs or three LEDs when the speaker is on. The connections are minimal, so the radio can be reverted back to its original condition. Though the kit is targeted at antique radios, other hobbyists such as woodworkers have used it to make powered speakers with an “old school” user experience. You can specify the Bluetooth advertising/pairing string for your radio when ordering the PCB.
Can I do the Retrofit?
You don’t need to be an electronics or radio expert to do the retrofit. If you can use hand tools, solder wires, and follow a wiring diagram, you can do it. The video above shows all the details. If you need help planning or doing the retrofit just send email and we’ll help you.
