His recently completedDuMont project (http://slipperyskip.com/page38.html) turns an iPad mini (http://www.engadget.com/2012/10/30/apple-ipad-mini-review/), a Jawbone Jambox (http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/03/jawbone-jambox-review/) and a heap of wood into a tiny 1950s TV set, complete with a woven speaker grille; the owner just has to slot devices into the enclosure's side to indulge in some nostalgic viewing. Stephenson isn't officially selling the box, but he is taking inquiries from those who want a tablet TV of their own. If you're wondering how he did it, you can visit Bit-Tech'sforums (http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=266959) to check out the project work log.
