This late 1950s Ecko radio has been converted into a bluetooth speaker with customised components. I fitted an up-to date bluetooth amplifier, wich is now driving the genuine speaker. The sound is so much better, comparing to what you find with a generic speaker. You can stream music directly from your phone or tablet.
What I have done:
I made use of the nice sounding original speaker and matched it with a 10W bluetooth amplifier. The radio now operates on 12V and is powered with an external power supply. On request I can also fit a battery pack to make it portable (see my other radios). You can hear it play on Youtube

This 1950 Ekco stroller has been converted into a wifi system with customised components. Now it works on 12V and comes with WLAN, USB, LAN inputs and 8Gb storage for your Music Library.
I fitted a new 10W audio amplifier which is now driving the original speaker. To make it work wirelss, I installed a single board computer with WiFi and 8Gb storage. You can now stream music from your phone, tablet or computer in best quality without the limitation of bluetooth. 
At the back you find 2 USB socket to connect your hard drive or usb stick which you can direct access through the preinstalled software. The Web Interface comes with preinstalled apps for Spotify or YouTube, choose from 500 preinstalled web radio station. You can see how it works here on my YouTube channel.
