The New Boom(less)Box.

Yes, the Winbond circuit now comes in a sleeker, more stylish look
complete with toggle power switch, built-in 1/8" jack for recording,
and mystery buttons for playback which I haven’t labeled yet. Ships
with random quotes from Don Hertzfeldt animations. Bonus.

Title: Boom Box Guts
Description: Top is attached with Velcro for easy removal. Inside, one breadboard contains the circuit with chip and the other is for button placement. A paper cup help to reverberate the sound from the speaker and a battery pack is hooked up to a 5 Volt regulator which is then controlled by the toggle switch. Huge thanks goes out to jumper cables and electrical tape.
