Retro TV & Radio
Retro electronics at real size: a 1960s console TV on splayed legs with rabbit-ear antenna (1 m tall), a small portable TV, an arched wooden valve radio, or a 1980s boombox. The screen or tuning dial glows at night, and the tuning knob is a rigged part (dial, rotates about z).

Use it
Code for the specimen as it is set up above; it follows your knobs.
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/retro-tv-radio.mjs';
const retroTvRadio = createAsset();
scene.add(retroTvRadio); // rests on y = 0, front faces +Z
// 'dial' pivots on its hinge: -150° to 150° around z
retroTvRadio.getObjectByName('dial').rotation.z = THREE.MathUtils.degToRad(-150);import { useMemo } from 'react';
import { createAsset } from 'https://gaitkit.com/cdn/retro-tv-radio.mjs';
export function RetroTvRadio() {
const model = useMemo(() => createAsset(), []);
return <primitive object={model} />;
}# Import retro-tv-radio.glb (download below). Moving parts are separate nodes, pivoted on their hinge.
$RetroTvRadio/dial.rotation_degrees.z = -150// Import retro-tv-radio.glb with glTFast (com.unity.cloud.gltfast).
transform.Find("dial").localEulerAngles = new Vector3(/* z: */ -150, 0, 0);Use the gaitkit MCP server: get_variant({ "id": "retro-tv-radio", "want": "default look" })
then place the result.
