Thanks for the update. Great outcome 👏

There is another kit with a fancy "spectrum analyzer". That one was fun too.

Suggestion, if you're going to make it portable, you might want to think about protecting those speakers. I have an older LIT Limited Edition Bluetooth speaker from RadioShack I purchased about 9 years ago. Like yours, it sounds extremely good considering the small speaker size. My speakers are front firing and have three different coloured (I spelled that just for you. LOL) speaker grills to control the different colored LEDS that light up to the music. I like the fact that you have a built in card reader. I only have a 1/8' stereo input plug. They are both pretty cool speakers. My HF rig has a top firing speaker so I use my speaker all the time when I'm working CW. Great build, very enjoyable and I'm glad you were able to easily repair yours. Cheers!!

You said that you wanted to solder surface mounted components. Wish granted.
