Beautiful modern stereo, hi-fi cabinet of veneered teak with brass hardware manufactured by the Clairtone Sound Corporation, Ltd., Toronto, CA. This is a great piece of vintage equipment, the tube amp (with EL 84 tubes) and Garrard turntable will bring out the warm, rich analog tones of your vinyl LPs. Audiophiles everywhere know that digital sound reproduction falls just a bit short; it just can’t compare to analog sound! Tight wood grain throughout, with a rich, dark patina. Hinged top opens to reveal the turntable and main control console which Clairtone designed for expandability; inputs are provided for external speakers, TV, tape deck, etc. Cloth-covered stereo speakers are hidden by sliding panel doors when not in use. The cabinet rests sturdily on the splayed legs. Dimensions: 62 in. long x 18 in. deep x 27 1/2 in. tall. –Stew F

I have the G3 and I have never, in my life, heard such rich, true sound. Bose, schmose! <http://farm1.static.flickr.com/38/74554324_f2e0c8d272_m.jpg>

My uncle out in Vancouver has 2 of these. Fantastic, though I could argue against his musical tastes. hahah

I have a Princess Stowaway modle 631 clairtone circa 1960’s. It is gorgeous oiled walnut with the record player in the top left and the radio in the top right. In the centre front are two doors supposedly for record storage. I have a 21 in. TV inserted here.It’s great because you can close the TV when guests arive. The radio could be used if the dial belts were replaced.

My mother had one of these forever. It was marvelous. I now have a portable Clairtone. It is great too. Have had it for 25 years.

Hey, I know that model, My best friend parents had this exat model when I was a kid, and this is a 1959, NOT 1969, clairetone consoles were all solid state by 1969, and it wasn’t the old ivory “Type A” Garrard turntable that was used (it turned black in the mid 60’s and was renamed “type A II” )

I have a 1966 Clairtone G2, 1970 G3 on the modile cart and a 1968 Princess console. They all still work and look great. The sound from the G2 with the sound globes is unbelievable. Thank you Peter and David.
