Vintage 8-track transformed into an iPod dock

Posted in DIY by Conner Flynn on February 21st, 2010

I love Vintage radios and 8-Tracks. Many just have a retro design that can’t be beat. The kind of style that no one is delivering today. The only thing better than a well designed vintage 8-Track player would be one that was modified as an iPod dock.

That’s exactly what we have here. This instructable shows you how to do it. Clearing out an 8-Track’s guts to to hold the contents of an iPod dock isn’t all that hard. The most important thing is that you start off with a great vintage device.

This looks great.

I’ve done this before with my Aquatron VX-33, which is essentially the egg-shaped version of the Weltron 2001. However, since the Aquatron already has RCA phono inputs, I simply used an RCA-to-stereo-minijack cable to the Aquatron and the iPod, set the Aquatron to “PHONO”, and started rockin’ out!
