1968 GE Scandia Discassette Radiogram

This piece has been sold and is no longer available.

Built in Sydney in 1968 by General Electric Kirby, the Scandia Discassette is the largest radiogram ever produced in Australia. At 1.8 metres long, with genuine wood veneer, solid timber detailing and tapered Scandinavian-style legs, it's a standout example of Australian mid-century design.

This unit has been fully restored, inside and out.

Cabinet

The cabinet has been sanded back and treated with a high-quality wood finish, bringing out the natural teak grain.

Turntable

The original English-made Garrard 3000 fully automatic stacking turntable has been completely overhauled and now performs as new.

Amplifier

The amplifier has been fully restored, including replacement of all electrolytic capacitors and light bulbs, and a deep sonic clean of every switch and potentiometer. It's in A1 working condition.

Sound

Its original pair of 12" Magnavox full-range speakers produces a rich, authentic vintage sound that modern systems can't replicate.

A rare opportunity to own one of the most impressive radiograms of its era, restored to pristine condition and ready to enjoy.
