Monitor mod - part three

Progress...



This is the completed monitor frame and circular trim in etch primer. I decided to paint the copper pipe black with the monitor frame, just too much copper otherwise.

I also found the housing for the monitor controls. This is a cut down and polished spray pump. With an elbow from one end, it will connect to the monitor. I hope to desolder and extend with wire the rotary knob to the outside tapered end of the housing.





Next step is to:

• paint the back of the monitor (brass and black)
• mount fixings for the control cylinder
• find two small speakers to fit in the brass bells and mount the speakers
• fabricate the four copper pipe joiners to attach the circular ring to the monitor frame
• fabricate the copper pipe to join the control cylinder to the monitor
• make up a new monitor signal lead
• attach a monitor support device to the back of the monitor

Not sure if I will get all this done this year, but then - what's the hurry? If I finish it too soon then I will need another project.
