Fräsoton

The Fräsoton is a circuit bent AM radio that I put in a old speaker box. The box did I found in the junk.

The philips heads on the back are connected to random places on the radios internal board, which produces nice chaotic sounds.

Based on a battery operated FM/AM Radio bought at a flea market for around one Euro.

To do list:

1. Add more screws and connections for more playability.
2. Record some sound and upload here.
3. Add a jack so it would be possible to connect it to a mixer.

Thanks to my friends Jonatan Liljedahl and Daniel Karlsson for inspiring me to finish the Fräsoton.

On the back of the wooden case, it says 'Speaker for direct tone' in Swedish, and the original brand is 'NEFA'.

Sounding example, of me touching(first file) and licking(second file) the screws on the backside. Recorded acousticly with Edirol R1 and a Röde NT4, no processing done:
