We’ve seen a lot of the Monome, a USB based controller often used as a sampler, here at Hack a Day. This is one of the more creative hacks. [brothernigel] took a Monome 40h kit and fit it inside the case of a vintage radio. The faceplate was a custom order to fit his purposes and incorporates the original radio frequency display. The USB port was well placed in the side of the wooden housing. For extra “soul”, pen and ink art adorns the insides. His work log gallery takes you through the process from start to finish.
We never noticed before, but the Monome makes a great vintage-looking-electronics project. All the lighted buttons are straight out of a ’60s military command center.

Nicely made
That didn’t look like much of a work log. It looked more like an artist photogallery. The dude took more time with the photos than actual project. Still, complete project is colourful. :)
video of thing working? alot of work for no video/
You guys have got to stop using “we” in posts. It’s incredibly awkward and distracting.
