Toy Block CD Changers

This LEGO Jukebox Wil Make Use of Old CDs

— May 19, 2013 — Tech
The show Happy Days was the first time I was introduced to a jukebox; needless to say that was a long time ago, but I am again introduced to this construct in the form of a LEGO jukebox.

The DIY LEGO CD changer is an interesting project. It wasn’t too long ago when Compact Discs were the norm, but now they’re mostly found in trash bins or the dollar racks at pharmacy stores. Ralph, the creator of this piece, found some use for his obsolete CDs when he created his LEGO CD changer. The CD changer is made primarily of LEGO pieces. The LEGO jukebox is placed on top of a computer’s PC. The CD changer possesses the same functionality of any jukebox, but with some added LEGO flair.
Trend Themes
1. LEGO CD Changer - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore the potential of repurposing obsolete technology through creative LEGO designs.
2. DIY Jukebox - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Combine traditional entertainment devices with DIY elements to create unique and customizable experiences.
3. Obsolete CD Repurposing - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Find innovative ways to give outdated technology new life in functional and aesthetic designs.
