Step 8Button 'Er Up!
The last step actually took a good hour or so, trying to route wires so that they wouldn't be pinched when everything was enclosed. It's not much of a step, but I thought I'd add it in in hopes that you'd plan ahead for wire routing!
You also may be wondering where the actual amplifier was mounted! Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of it (I got lazy with pictures at the end), but it was just screwed down to the underside of the cast aluminum frame. Trust me it's under there (see comment on pic)!
I also removed the power LED from the amplifier board and added an extension wire to power the original LED that came with the floppy drive (disk-read light). This way, when the amp was switched on, the LED on the front of the floppy would also turn on.
Last but not least, I have to admit, this might be a pretty rough Instructable to re-create. My intentions for posting it were more to inpire others to find creative uses/reuses for things. I really liked the nostalgia I got from Apple's design and eventually figured out a practical use for it on my computer desk!
