Wait a second! WHAT kind of radio? If it's tubes ("valves" to you UKers,) then yes, don't touch the innards while it's plugged in. If it's "Solid State" (transistors, ICs, etc.) i ...

the transformer would replace the speaker so if you have enough room for it then put it inside the radio. But it might be usefull to put it in a seperate box
so you could use it for other devices asw ...

I think the best/safest way would be to use an audio transformer. They are available with a low input impedance of 8 ohms (primary) and high output
impedance >1K (secondary). So instead of the spe ...

Hello!

I've just gotten started with circuitbending and I'm having fun with some radios. I use a telephone mic on the speakers to record sound without fear of dying from electroshock.

However I' ...
