MP3 Tunes in Model A, Headphones to Aux. Input?

[leo]

OK I'm flummoxed, why is it that it's so much simpler to toss something perfectly functional away and buy another one that has the features you want then to alter the one you have? I know I'm beating a dead horse here but think of the Model A, everything was made to be serviced and repaired, never tossed and replaced. It is truly a sad state of affairs.....

I guess its the same as why you can't make a perfect orange into a perfect apple.

It all depends upon your skillset.

For an electronics hobbiest, what you want to do would be easy. I could probably do it in under 10 minutes using parts out of ye olde junque box. However, I cannot turn a Model A motor into an air compressor. But I bet some of you mechanical experts could!

Actually, I think changing the A engine to a compressor is easier than reverse engineering the radio to find the input section of the audio amplifier and adding the parts to match the input of the device you want to while keeping the unit working as a radio when the input os removed.

The A engine to a compressor, change the head add a governor and that's about it.
