1963 Pi Tourer Game Console #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
via hackster.io
This is a 1963 Sky Tourer car radio that I’ve converted into a handy portable retro gaming console. It has a Raspberry Pi 3 built-in, with 6 arcade buttons and a joystick controlling those vintage RetroPie sprites via a Picade controller board. The radio’s original volume and tuning knobs are the perfect home for the Start and Select buttons, keeping them handy but out of mashing range. Lighting things up is a Pimoroni Blinkt LED strip, which illuminates the radio’s semi-transparent dial with different colours, depending on the game console being emulated.
