This radiogram is currently available to secure prior to restoration. It will undergo a complete Retraphonics restoration in-house at our Gold Coast workshop, including restoration and servicing of the original amplifier and turntable, with the cabinetry attended to as required.

Pre-order restorations are generally completed within approximately 30–90 days from order. Once your pre-order is placed, we'll confirm the expected completion timeframe for your individual radiogram.

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.

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

The original English-made Garrard 3000 fully automatic stacking turntable will be completely overhauled.

The amplifier will be fully restored, including replacement of all electrolytic capacitors and light bulbs, and a deep sonic clean of every switch and potentiometer.

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

Please note: Images shown are representative of the model. As these are original vintage radiograms, no two units are exactly the same. Natural variations in timber grain, colour, cabinetry and other original details may be present in the radiogram you receive.
