[I'm with Roger, this may not be very impressive in a world in which
technology performs miracles on a daily basis.]
This would be a perfect project for some random high-school student,
assuming they still fiddle with hardware. Ask me 30 years ago! 8*)
A couple of random thoughts:
Maybe have the input and record-override functions be radio, so you
don't have to open the box to add a microcassette, or use a
solid-state memory to hold the headlines data.
Ask other members of the audience to bring their own boombox from
home, so after playing it in yours you can play it in theirs.
Of course, there's always the sleight-of-hand of swapping the
cassette...
Sounds like a fun project, but you are on the wrong coast, I don't
have the bandwidth to do it in my spare time, and you can't afford my
normal hourly rate. 8*)
