Electromatic Radio-Phonograph (1946)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!
Shortly after WWII, Electromatic introduced this radio-phonograph to the public, claiming it to be the first true post-war radio-phonograph design. To give the cabinet a completely new look, they turned to Artek-Pascoe, the U.S. arm of Aalto Furniture, a Finnish company founded by Alvar and Aino Aalto, who had become well known for modern Scandinavian furniture design using simple geometries with curving wood elements and contrasting choices of wood. An Electromatic in your living room made you a real trend-setter in the late 40s. The outside of the cabinet is a very convincing photo-finish; I had to examine carefully to figure out it is not real veneer. Surprisingly, every unit is different--just like real wood. The legs detach for shipping or use as a table-top unit. The automatic record changer, in keeping with the times, only plays 78 RPM records; it has been fully restored, with a newly rebuilt rubber idler wheel, a new Pfahnstiehl P51-3 cartridge (with proper 78 needle), and all adjustments and lubrication needed to run like new; see demo video here. The radio chassis has been fully restored for like-new operation with all electrolytic and paper capacitors replaced, new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes, a full RF/IF alignment, and a new polarized power cord. The unique dial pointer is illuminated by a light that moves with the pointer. 17-1/2"W x 28"H x 22-1/2"D.
