Clairtone: Project G

"Project G epitomized high design, pure form, the perfection of how sacred platonic geometry can bring our banal, everyday products to a higher spiritual art form. It set the trend for stereo equiptment to become a composition of extreme pure form, sophisticated materials, and floating sculptural composition for Bang & Olufsen, Brionvega, Telefunken and others to emulate." ~Karim Rashid via If you are not Familiar with the Clairtone Project G I suggest you pick up the book "The Art of Clairtone: The making of a Design Icon" by Nina Munk and Rachel Gotlieb. This example is a first Generation Project G stereo and is in Excellent Original Condition. It was acquired from the original owner and was remarkably well preserved. It comes complete with the original owner's manual, warranty cards and hang tags. The bookmatched rosewood cabinet is absolutely stunning and is completely flawless. The sound globes rotate 340 degrees to change the direction of the sound. The Clairtone tuner and Elam Phonograph both work great but could use a light tune-up. This is the Holy Grail of designer electronics from the 1960's.
