Re: NEW Design - Cheap Bluetooth Speaker for phonographs
Years ago I did the same thing with that speaker, except I mounted the back piece of an Orthophonic reproducer to the end of it. The speaker is the same diameter as the back of an Orthophonic reproducer, and with a new soft flange in place, it sounds amazing on my Credenza. I connected it to my Iphone and found the best sound was achieved by changing the equalizer setting to raise the treble. Otherwise on the credenza the bass was too powerful.

Re: NEW Design - Cheap Bluetooth Speaker for phonographs
I have a bluetooth speaker, probably the same as shown by the OP. It fits nice & snug into one end of a beer coozey, (cozey, koozy?). The bottom of the "coozey" has a hole in it that pushes nice & snug over the end of an Orthophonic tone arm. No modifications needed!!! Sounds pretty good, except you can feel the foam "coozey" vibrate a bit, which probably means it's absorbing sound energy. The other downside is, your beer gets warm...

Good idea, Jerry. It meets my original requirements of cheap and easy to make, plus I imagine that it works good too...
