Sanyo Honeycomb Quadraphonic System

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.

This Sanyo Honeycomb Quadraphonic System is an impressive example of 1970s audio design, combining Sanyo’s distinctive Honeycomb speaker technology with a complete four-channel quadraphonic setup.

Unlike a conventional two-speaker stereo, this is the complete five-piece system, comprising the original centre console with amplifier and turntable, two larger floor speakers and two smaller matching Honeycomb speakers.

The amplifier has been comprehensively overhauled, with ageing and out-of-spec components addressed where required. Controls and switches have been cleaned and serviced, internal connections checked, and all four channels tested and balanced to ensure the complete quadraphonic system is operating correctly.

The original turntable has received a full mechanical service. The mechanism has been cleaned and correctly lubricated, with the motor, drive system and moving components serviced. Speed, tracking and automatic functions have also been checked and adjusted for reliable record playback.

All four original Sanyo Honeycomb speakers have been retained. Their distinctive Honeycomb grilles are one of the defining features of this system and, together with the matching timber cabinetry, give the complete setup its unmistakable 1970s appearance.

The cabinetry across the centre console and all four speakers has been carefully cleaned, restored and refinished where required while preserving the original character of the timber. The centre console also incorporates dedicated record storage beneath the amplifier.

Sold as the complete matching system pictured: centre console with original amplifier and turntable, two larger Honeycomb speakers and two smaller Honeycomb speakers.

Smartphone connectivity can be added with our optional Phone Adaptor Kit, allowing music from a modern device to be played directly through the original Sanyo amplifier and speakers.

Australia-wide fragile freight is available.
