If he asks for a massage later be like, “Aint no one able to un-kink that shit!” And throw him in the hot tub! That’ll straighten him out!

 

How tf is that even comfortable?

I repurposed a mid-century modern console stereo cabinet (no longer worked) into a cabinet that holds a bunch of electronics. The cabinet has a small red light on the front panel that lit up when the old stereo was on. I wanted to have it do the same thing with the new receiver I put in it is on.

Luckily the receiver has a USB port on the back that can be set to provide power only when the receiver is on. So I figured a single LED powered by a USB cable would be simple, but I couldn't find such a thing. So I decided to make one out of stuff I had around.

A free Harbor Freight flashlight is loaded with LEDs and I have a bunch of old USB cables. So I deconstructed the flashlight and did some testing with wiring. Works like a charm!

As I was trying to work out how I wanted to mount the new light I wired up the old one and plugged it into the flashlight as a power source, and it still worked! When I pulled the old bulb out I noticed it was a 2 prong plug, and the LED on the end of the flashlight has solid leads, so I snipped the LED off and put it in the old socket. When I attached it to the flashlight it lit up. I now have a way to mount it and it works great.

 

Thats neat

 

He certainly made it work...

 

That looks like the start of a RAP video...lol

Hey Carl, I'd love to see some pics of the inside of your cabinet.

 

Bags of what?!

 

Well that’s better than it being mulch!

But if there is a cookout happening and you lost invite again! Wish it was mulch!

 

It's a work in progress. This is what it looked like initially, but I'm in the process of moving things around again. I'm trying to practice good cable management and keep things tidy, and power cables separate from data.

My office is also a work in progress and is a catch all for stuff, which I'm trying to move to other locations.

 

and this whole time I've been thinking you were in your mid-60's.

 

I'm not sure why, but I also thought older.
