Found a cool way to light up the dial on my haunted radio prop and thought I would share. I used LED strip tape. The best part is you can change the color via a remote. Check it out!
Also added a motor to spin the needle on the dial as well as a circuit board that will allow me to turn power on \ off to the speaker. The radio will be connected to a prop controller. When it is triggered, the dial will light up, the needle will spin and music will play. I have all the power running out the bottom of the radio so you will not be able to see that it is plugged in. I then have a dummy power cord coming out of the side of the radio the will be coiled up next to it so it looks like there is no power to it.
