.jpg "Garod 769 \"Presto-Matic\" (1939)") |
The Garod Company started out in New Jersey in 1921 manufacturing crystal sets under the name of Gardner-Rodman Corporation. In 1923 they changed the name to Garod Corporation and manufactured tubes as well as tube radios in Newark, New Jersey. Later, The Garod Radio Corporation was located in Brooklyn New York. Between 1946 and 1948, they manufactured televisions. They produced over 300 models of portable radios, table radios and consoles. They also made four Catalan models, which are highly collectable. Garod radios are hard to find due to low production numbers. They are known for their beautiful cabinets and colorful dials. The Garod 769 is a six-tube, two-band (AM,SW) AC/DC radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern values. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new power cord, safety fuse and a new antenna lead were installed. Gary skillfully refinished this gorgeous and unique cabinet, ending up with a perfect "piano" lacquer finish. Hats off to dialcover.com for a perfect custom-made dial cover! The knobs, push buttons, 6-inch speaker and chassis are original. This rare set is the first one for sale on the Radio Attic. The only one I could find was a damaged one that was for sale years ago online. Safe to say you probably won't find one anywhere restored to this level! 16-3/4"W x 11"H x 8-1/2"D. $849.00.
