Radio, many years in the making

[L i am]

I have posted something similar lately but deleted the post (Long story) anyway I have posted an image of a model I made in 1985. I was a response to a brief '" Explore how we form relationships with objects" Being 1984 we were also discovering how wasteful we are. We were asked to create a work of "conceptual design" I chose to make a model of an am radio utilising the many AM radios that were going to landfill from wrecked or redundant cars. The radio was to look human made and only had two knobs one for volume and the other for tuning. There are no markings as experience with using the radio you will build the human to object relationship (Intimacy) The work used am an Am radio I got from a wrecker, I just rewired the controls and gave it a 12v power supply. radios from old cars where the radio circuitry from the old radio would be used to build !
I find it interesting that this new design is completely original and is not derivative of anything aesthetic. And therefore completely original.
The image of the original radio was a good image but looks bad as i took it with my phone and is out of focus.
