Vintage Zenith stereo console converted to wifi wireless music player

Using a raspberry pi, I added wifi wireless music playing capabilities via Apple AirPlay!

My Aunt Mildred had one of these many years ago. I liked its sound.

that is cool. i am currently looking for an is series. i bought it when i worked at a zenith tv store in the late 70s early 80s. bluetooth wifi was my plan as well. they really sounded amazing for the price

That's fantastic! Vintage Stereos playing new technology with awesome sound! 🙂

Would love you to do a diy on hooking it up.

[danielrock]

I have a console very similar to yours. I would love to do this. Would you please post links on how you did it or to where I could watch someone else hook it up?

[clconley]

That’s awesome!❤ Can’t wait to do this along with a flat screen tv in a vintage console.

I love how old stereos have so many dials. New stereos will have two dials max.

[dunks]

Awesome! Do you have any links to reference material you used? I may like to do the same with mine.

NICE! Where can I find info on the hookups? Purchased a 72 RCA console. It's only a record player. The needle is busted and can't seem to find replacements. Might need to install and upgrade turntable...

I wired my stereo so that I can hear my records over my phone.

[bonesable]

Yea! because compressed mp3 music sounds so much better.... smh

"It's a pretty powerful sound" the kid
Lol...
Yep, it sure is....

[vaughngesing]

I have the exact same Zenith system, and the record player is also broken. Is there any chance you could answer a few questions I have about the raspberry pi? I didn't even realize this was a possibility until I stumbled across your video.

Do you still this beautiful stereo/ I could fix the changer

[Maythebridgesiburnlightmyway.]

Do you know the exact year? I have this exact console!

[johndotson]

I am looking for one just like this for sale

[gregoryagogo]

That's about as ugly as they made them... we had one similar! Our was longer

[Elvisfan]

The turntable should not be that hard to fix
