Saba Sabine radio HTPC

I was looking for something to fit the living room better than an old destop case. An old radio that's not to big but can fit a mini-itx and is nice.

I found this: Saba Sabine-M (1959)

It was brown, had some cracks, did't work at all.

I kept the original mechanism to move the dial and the mechanism to work the buttons. The res ws thrown out, but as a consequence the m-itx board firs only in a 45 degree angle. New base plate and back cover from metal, panted it white. I added a LED stripe to the bottom with warm white light.

It served 6 years, now its empty and waits for the next HW to move in.

PSU: AcBel AI2PC23 (200W) - from an old Thinkcenter A50.
Color(s): Gold White
RGB Lighting? No
Theme: Retro
