1920s Kodak Brownie Camera Converted to Rechargeable Bluetooth Speaker

Vintage 1920s Kodak Brownie No. 2 camera converted to rechargeable Bluetooth Speaker .

This beautiful vintage camera has been given a new lease of life as a Bluetooth speaker with rechargeable battery pack, on / off switch, LED light in the lense, 2" speaker and golden grill. The box is in overall very condition considering it is 100 years old. Some slight tears and scuffs have been repaired.

Kodak Brownie Camera, 2" speaker, speaker grill, speaker cable, power cable, 12v power input, rocker switch, 12v rechargeable battery pack, 50w Bluetooth amplifier, 12v led light

Clean the exterior shell of the camera to remove any surface dirt. Use a 50mm (2") hole saw to create a hole in the centre of the side panel. Create another two 14mm holes (or sizes to suit your parts) on the opposite side for the power port and switch. Drill four very small holes for the speaker to screw in to.

Solder speaker wire to the speaker and screw the other ends into the Bluetooth amplifier. Place the speaker into it's hole, cover with the grill and screw in place. Connect the positive wire from the battery pack directly to the amplifier, connect the negative to the switch and another negative wire from the switch to the amplifier. Solder the negative end of the LED light to the switch output and the positive to the positive wire which is fed to the amplifier. Secure all parts in place with hot glue and decorative grommets. Glue the led to the front lense internally.

Switch the speaker on and connect to the Bluetooth amplifier. Play your music and control the sound with your connected device. Connect the 12v power supply to recharge the battery when necessary, ensure the power is switched on during charging.
