Listen to your Tunes for working in high noise levels.

This is my first crack at this so bare with me.

Problem : at work we are not allowed to wear headphones and seeing as there is a 100% hearing protection rule this is how I beat the system.
We are allowed radios but we are in a steel building and radio reception is down to only 3 or 4 week stations and a strong one with a crappy genre.
Solution: supply our own music.
Now I will tell you what and how I did.
I acquired an old boom box radio/ tape player while out curb shopping one day. The tape player was nonfunctional.
.
March 3 09 update: I added a 5 volt usb connector since the first Instuctable.
See the final steps.

Step 1 Prepare the Found Radio

First thing I did was gut the no good tape deck out of the box.
Mission complete.
I did not show this because I did it a long time ago and it was just a matter of unscrewing some things and pulling a few wires and so on.

Just looking through this post again and wow it's sure different now.
I made a lot of modifications sense then.
Guess I should take some more pics and post them...

Great Job. Nothing makes the work day go faster than some music.

This is a great Instructable, but you need to add a main image of the final project to the intro step. Please do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks!

Ok I touched up a bit. How does that look? Thanks for your comments.
