.jpg "Majestic 776 \"Lido\" (1933)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| Grigsby-Grunow Majestic became Majestic in 1933 upon the bankruptcy of Grigsby-Grunow. A year later Majestic went out of business. In 1933-34 they produced some angular cabinet designs with chrome fronts that just screamed "Art Deco." The "Lido" was the crown prince of the "smart set" line of 26 radios that Majestic created basically to save the company from bankruptcy. Low production numbers of Majestic radios from this time period contributed to their rarity today. I believe the "smart sets" designs were way ahead of their time. Four of the radios including the "Lido" were shown at the National Electrical and Radio Expo in New York City at Madison Square Garden. The 776 is a six-tube, AM only console radio. We went through the radio, replacing all of the capacitors, checking and replacing resistors and tube where needed. A new power chord, safety fuse, antenna lead and audio input cable were installed. The "Lido' has a magnificent "Art Deco" cabinet that is one of the most unique in the radio collector world. and is really quite stunning! Gary refinished the five different veneers to a gorgeous lacquer "piano" finish. Truly a masterpiece! The original knobs dial scale and chassis are present, and the radio has a replacement speaker. A period correct grille cloth was used. This unique and rare radio is highly sought after and never shows up in this kind of restored condition. 36"H x 22"W x 10"D. |
