THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! A ONE-DAY WONDER!

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. 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 automatic record changer, in keeping with the times, only plays 78 RPM records; it has been fully restored, with all adjustments and lubrication needed to run like new; click here to see a demo video here. The changer was made by the Milwaukee Stamping Co., a fairly obscure supplier; its cam track is built right into the bottom of the rotating platter, giving rise to various unique clicks and clacks when the mechanism operates. 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 11-3/4"H x 22-1/2"D.
