Lego Old Skool Boom Box

I also made a stop frame animation of it where you can see it in action: 



Here’s my fully-functioning* boom box which has a multitude of moving parts, switches and dials. Once you pick it up it is hard to put down, so I think it doubles up as a cool stress toy too.


The best part is the tape eject mechanism, which actually works and took me a looong time to figure out.


It also includes:

  • A radio tuner wheel which moves the station dial

  • 3 graphic equaliser toggles

  • A volume control knob, a Left-Right balance slider and two other moving dials

  • A mode select button which when pressed, depresses the previous selection

  • A  carry handle which folds completely flush

  • A stowable FM Radio antenna

  • A battery compartment (3x batteries included!)

  • A headphone and auxiliary port

  • Free MixTape!


It doesn’t look like it from the outside, but because of all the moving parts it is a challenging build on the inside, especially to fit it all in.


Hope you like it.


* Doesn’t actually make any sounds.
