A sound system for industrial tool chests modifies a tool chest with drawers to provide sound and music to technicians at work in a shop. The sound system has a power supply and electronics mounted in the vacant spaces within a tool chest. The power supply has ducting and a fan for cooling. Wiring delivers power from the power supply to the electronics and a player. The electronics include a dropping resistor and illuminated on-off switch. The player can play one or all of AM, FM, and other radio bands, broadcast or cable TV, video and other digital signals, and recorded media of many kinds. The player distributes a signal to two or more speakers mounted to the bottom of the tool chest, and alternatively in the top. The present invention installs within single chests and multiple story chests. Sound from the speakers reflects upon a shop floor to send music throughout the shop.

I claim: 1. A tool chest has a front, an opposite rear, a top, perpendicular to the front, a bottom opposite said top, and two sides perpendicular to the front and the rear, generally in a rectangular shape; lateral and longitudinal rectangular frames and lateral drawers, the lateral frames having rails to support multiple stacked drawers; metal paneling to sheath the rear, top, bottom, and sides of the tool chest; and wheels attached to the bottom of the tool chest; and, vacant spaces between the frames and the metal paneling, wherein the improvement comprises: one or more power supplies with a power cord; an air duct extending from said power supply, said air duct locating within the interior of the tool chest and being a separate component from the tool chest; one or more fans mounting upon said air duct generally opposite said power supply, said one or more fans drawing air through said duct to said one or more power supplies; said one or more fans and said air duct adapting to fit within the vacant space between the frames and the metal paneling of a tool chest without interfering with a drawer; a dropping resistor connected to a lighted power switch, reducing the voltage to said lighted power switch and thus the brightness of said lighted power switch; a player adapting to fit within the vacant space between the frames and the metal paneling of a tool chest, said player locating away from a drawer, connected to said lighted power switch and said power supply by wiring whereby, when said power switch is illuminated said player and said fan operate simultaneously; an antenna connecting to said player and extending out of the rear of the tool chest, said antenna adapting to pivotally connect to the tool chest; a means to reinforce the front of the tool chest near said player; one or more speakers in electrical communication with said player, said speakers adapted to mount to the bottom of the tool chest, and said speakers projecting sound downwardly beneath the tool chest; and, one or more damper pads adapted to mount to the bottom of the tool chest, adjacent to said speakers; whereby said power supplies, said air duct, said fans, said dropping resistor, said illuminated power switch, said player, said antenna, and said reinforcing means are collocated; whereby said speakers and said damper pads are mounted generally in the existing vacant spaces of the tool chest without interfering in the layout and operations of the lateral drawers, thus said speakers provide sound from said player to the environment around the tool chest. 2. The tool chest of claim 1 wherein said player is capable of playing television signals. 3. The tool chest of claim 2 further comprising: said player having a DIN style case. 4. The tool chest of claim 3 further comprising: said power supply, said air duct, said fan, said dropping resistor, said lighted power switch, said player, said antenna, and said reinforcing means installing beneath the top of the tool chest and above the topmost drawer of said tool chest; said reinforcing means having a tube, generally round, located beneath the player to reinforce the front panel; and, said speakers and said damper pads mounting to the bottom of the tool chest generally between the wheels to provide sound underneath the tool chest and then to the environment around the tool chest. 5. The tool chest of claim 4 further comprising: four of said speakers and four of said damper pads. 6. The tool chest of claim 3 further comprising: said power supply, said air duct, said fan, said dropping resistor, said lighted power switch said player, said antenna, and said reinforcing means installing between a side panel and the rails of the drawers proximate to the topmost drawer; said reinforcing means having a plate generally rectangular and with a rectangular opening, said plate contiguous with face of said player; and, said speakers and said damper pads mounting to the bottom of the tool chest generally between the wheels to provide sound underneath the tool chest and then to the environment around the tool chest. 7. The tool chest of claim 6 further comprising: four of said speakers and four of said damper pads. 8. The tool chest of claim 6 wherein the tool chest has two or more stories of drawers stacked vertically; wherein said speakers and said damper pads are mounted below the bottom of the lowest story.
