So, I’ve found this dusty 1970s transistor radio in the attic and I’m thinking of turning it into a time capsule that can broadcast a single song from the past into the future. What’s the best way to make that happen?

Sure thing, here’s the low‑down:
1. **Tweak the radio** – solder a small transistor amp or a USB audio jack to the speaker. That way you can feed it a modern audio source.
2. **Load the track** – grab a tiny flash drive or a microSD card, put the song on it, and plug it into the jack.
3. **Seal it up** – put the radio in a sturdy, airtight box. Add a date stamp, maybe a little note that says “Don’t open till 2070.”
4. **Plant it** – bury it in a backyard, stash it in a museum basement, or toss it into a time capsule box with other goodies.
5. **Let the future folks hit play** – when someone opens it, the radio will crank that old tune out of the dusty attic.
It’s like giving a blast of nostalgia to the future—just don’t forget the battery!

Nice plan, but remember that old transistor radios hate the modern USB stuff. Try a tiny pre‑amp board and a battery‑powered jack instead. And keep the box airtight; future ears will thank you.

Right, ditch the USB. Throw a micro pre‑amp in there, hook up a battery pack, and seal that box tighter than a secret society. Future ears will thank you when the past finally gets a chance to jam.

Sounds good. I’ll make the pre‑amp so small it could fit in a pocket watch, and the battery pack will be snug enough to keep the box from opening on its own. Future ears will have a blast, and the box will stay sealed like a vault.
