Required Parts
 |
A cardboard box. Any fairly large cardboard box will do. Feel free to decorate it in whatever manner you see fit. | |
|
A television set. A 14" portable TV is preferred, but any colour model will suffice. |
 |
|
 |
Electronic gubbins. You will need at least 2 green printed circuit boards, a funny looking cable and a metre of wires. These can be taken from pretty much any broken electronic equipment. Alternatively, parts like these can often be found in bins at the back of small businesses. | |
|
A standard 3-pin kettle power lead, a torch, and a length of bare wire (or solder). |
 |
|
 |
A keyboard. Please note that an old fashioned typewriter will not work! You need an electronic keyboard. Although proper computer keyboards can be bought cheaply, I'm using a broken and dirty Amiga 600 I found in a skip. | |
|
A CD Player. A portable CD player is best due to it's compact size, but any device that can play CD's will be fine. Please note that you do not necessarily need built-in speakers - we will be making our own later. |
 |
|
|
|
Any infra-red remote control. |
|
|
Two disposable plastic cups. |
 |
|
 |
A carrot. |
|
You will also need some sticky tape and blu-tac.
