Does it roll? Because if it doesn't roll, it's not retro.

Interesting. I'm about to embark on a similar type of project using an ESP32 and a PI clone (because I can't get my hands on a real one). In this case, I'm retrofitting a 70's vintage receiver by ripping out the power supply, tuner, amplifier, light bulbs and replacing them a class D amplifier, LEDs and computers. It will work similar except the tuning knob will switch internet feeds and play lists. For the analog inter station noise, I'll use an mp3 of the noise.
> Sweet. Post your stuff. I have links in th sub. Canakit I think has some Pi's. But yeah been hearing that too.
Fantastic!
Some improvements that could be made: - Eliminate the screen tearing - Sidebands around desired channel should show snowy picture - An antenna mounted on a base, which when turned in different directions adjusts a pot, and has to be in the precise position in order to get clear picture. Otherwise, simulated snowy picture.
And of course: - Screen goes haywire at random times, requiring a good whack to the side to bring the picture back.
