MORE PROJECT AND TIPS: makebuildmodify...
I make and sell Steampunk USB drives from time to time. I usually do a batch for the Holiday sales season and they seem to do pretty well. This is an example of how I make them.
Feel free to use this design for your own use and maybe even make a buck or two yourself.

Hey, thanks for the inspiration. I used some early 1930s radio tubes for this idea. I drilled a hole in the center of the bakelite base, just large enough to accommodate a 3mm 9-12V led and glued it in place. The glue I use dries instantly without odor. The finished effect looks nice and is ready to mount in a one of my retro futurist designs.

A 90 degree USB connector and lead allows it to be sat on desk and plugged in to laptop. Very nice work mate. This is why I nod up with boxes and boxes of " stuff" awaiting conversion and up-cycling. Old TVs , radios, clocks, instruments, car and motorbike bits etc. I made a beautiful USB power port hub from an old and worn out racing carburettor that lights up and stores pens and pencils, every petrolhead should have one!

They look absolutely stunning but my only reservation would be the amount of extra leverage strain they would place on the Mac or PC USB sockets? I have caught a few USB sticks over the years ferreting about the computer and have accidentally mashed the USB sockets in the process necessitating replacement. Only use these on easily replaceable front panel auxiliary USB sockets that plug into internal MoBo headers for this very reason as you will be stuffed if you trash the PCB mounted ones. Have fun and play safely guys as these do look really cool!

I don't think there is a way for them to hold a charge. But you should do some research on your specific tube to be safe. You can always test the electrodes with a volt/ohm meter. Thanks for watching!

Good question. It helps when the glue gets on my fingers. Otherwise I get epoxy finger prints on the glass. That way I don't have to stop to clean my fingers.

Awesome work man! More than knowledge what you need is love ( and patience) to do this sort of stuff. Would you consider to make a computer in an old vintage radio? There are some in you tube, but watching this video I guess yours would be really cool.

Is there a way to make brass that has been polished with sand paper remain shinny for more than a few weeks?
@Makebuildmodify
@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад
I'm not sure. I think you can put a clear coat on it.

What are the two gold tabs at the top of the chip for? Were those led connections?
@Makebuildmodify
@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад
I'm not sure. They might be but I've never tested them.

Jep, gives you the same voltage as the two outer points u used. Just plug the usb stick in a computer and use a multimeter to find the plus and minus.
