Bluetooth Board Suggestions
#1

Just finished a 37-620 Consolette which was a nightmare in miniature , but after a year it's done.  I decided to add a Bluetooth Board since our local A.M. stations are not anything I listen to on a regular basis.  I used a SMAKN APT-X Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver Board with a 12 VDC wall wort and a 3.5mm stereo to 3.5mm mono audio plug.  Works great!  I wanted to add these boards to some of my other Philco's, but now I find they are not available.  Has anyone had any luck with another Bluetooth Board on their Philco that I can substitute?
Thanks for your time!

I bought the DROK bluetooth module and am very happy with it. Takes 5-12 volts and has multiple outputs. It's about $13 on Amazon.

Thanks for the suggestion.  What did you use for your power supply?

I bought a tiny transformer with a 10v secondary from Mouser that supplies 90ma, sent it through a bridge rectifier, put a 200 mfd cap on it then fed a 7809 regulator. The BT module draws 60-75 ma. Or you can use a 9 volt battery.

Hello Rob,
Nice Idea far as the power transformer goes .
I bought few bluetooth boards from Ebay Mark and in my area the Am station only runs till 4pm nightly before shutting down the only real day I like listen to the channel is Sat .'
Sincerely Richard
