I recently purchased a 1963 Clairtone G2 stereo console. Unfortunately someone has "upgraded" the receiver and turntable. I would like to find out what units were originally in the console. Anybody know, or know how to find out what they were? I've been looking for a month and can't find any information.

correction: the G2 was made in 1966

Hi clairtone was a Canadian Company .Just type into your search engine Clairtone and you ll come up with some info . Remember they used units from alot of companies .G2 unit may have been their first unit of this type . Is this the transistor unit with globe speakers. try search it cant hurt Tom

I tried this, but coudn't find anything specifically on the G2 (lots of manuals for sale for other Clairtone products, but that was about it).

Yes, this is the unit that began using the verticle mount receiver/amplifier because it has transistors instead of tubes. Currently there is a Marantz tuner in the console, but it is too deep, and since the unit is mounted vertically, it sticks out the bottom of the console and ruins the sleek look. There are metal "globe" speakers mounted on the ends of the unit. Clairtone made a G in 1963 that was the first to utilize the technology, then they made it sleek and beautiful in 1966 with the G2.

Still looking for answers, and appreciating the comments.

Hello,

I just bought a G2 this weekend. It has a Garrard Lab 80 turnatble and the original Clairtone receiver (it must transistor). It was purchased in 1966. The electronics work fine, but the wood needs refinishing and the speakers need to be repainted. The cartridge (or needle) needs to be replaced, as the phono sound is a lot worse than the FM radio (normally this should be the opposite!) There is also a faint 60 Hz hum. I'll have to start servicing the unit. I paid 200$, which seems like a fair deal. It also has the plexiglass cover, but 2 of the hinges are broken. The speakers sound good. I must admit I'm new to this sort of gear, and I was mostly attracted by its far fetched design. I plan on restoring it completely to its original state. I'll be opening the unit soon and I'll probably find out who built the receiver. I'll keep you posted.

Hello,

About 8 years ago, while walking through a neighbourhood in Toronto known for it's "antique" stores I saw in a window a Clairtone G2 (T10 model). I was studying Industrial design at the time and thought considered this piece to be a wonderfully indictaive of it's era of sleek, low profile and forward thinking design. And after negotiating with the guy I bought the G2 for what I remember to be just over 100 dollars.

It is a remarkable Stereo. It is in near original condition, the Garrard turntable works (love the cherrywood arm of the Turntable!) Everything works beautifully and even came with two extention speakers mounted on circular base plates. It even came with the original bill of sale and manual. In toronto there is a museum of modern design and the currator (a former instructor of mine) has lobbied vehemently that I sell my Clairtone to the the museum. I will not of course - I love the thing.

Would like to share my Clairtone experience with people who appreciate this wonderful stereo and also answer any questions people mighth have about the Clairtone G2.

Cheers
DC

I agree, this a great piece of Canadian design and for 1966, the electronics are impressive. I'm busy restoring mine to its original state. I've solved the wood problem (it needed a bit of oiling and the finish looks great now) and electronics are OK. The turntable needs a new cartridge which I found from Canadian Astatic. I purchased a second Lab 80 from ebay for parts. I would like some advice concerning the black paint on the speakers and the base. There are numerous scratches and spots and I want to restore it to its original finish. Should I strip off the paint and repaint it with spray paint, or should I have it anodised in a paint shop ($$$).

Otherwise, knowing that you have the original manuals, I am very interested in obtaining a copy, if possible.

Also, what it is spcecific to the T10 model?. My system only has G2 has a model number.

Concerning the toronto design museum you mentioned, is that the Toronto Design Exchange? If so, for your info, they have just published Fifty Years of Canadian Design which includes an interesting section on Clairtone G stereos. It appears that they own the Clairtone company archives which I would be very interested in consulting (for circuits, sketches, history etc..) But I'm from Montreal ... Otherwise, I've been checking ebay for clairtone systems and they are quite rare. Recently, a pair of G2 speakers only(with base, no electronics) sold for 450$ US.

Regards,

Jean

Hi,
If the original finish was anodizing, anything less than this will yield results that are at best marginal. The anodizing process produces a unique finish and luster that even an expert paint mixer cannot duplicate. In the event that it is paint, I would take it to an autobody specialist and see what they would charge. They would be able to mix the paint to match exact color, and should be able to match the original paint type, and since they also have the facilities to paint the piece that rival the original factory, your results would be better than what you would achieve with a spray can.

If you like the unit, and intend to keep it for a long time, may as well as pay the extra amount now, because it will pay off in the future when you do not have to worry about how it looks.

Hi Jean,

A few pointers regarding restoring your G2 (though I'm probably reiterating what has already been posted) and that is if you are restoring the paintwork I defintely would reccomend a professional. Also, when you disassemble your speakers please keep in the mind that the speaker vent grill that runs the circumfrence of the speakers can very easily lose their shape so a bit of caution removing them.

Also, the wood veneer (cheerywood) dries very quickly so it will need regular oiling (about once a month and use a light wood oil.

The instruction manuels for the Gerrard Lab 80 Turntable and the G2 have proven very useful as they include all the technical and assembly data - I have to say it is the most comprehensive manuel I've ever read - and I was very lucky they were included with when I purchased the G2.

You asked about the T10. The G2 came in several models with small differences. The range was T8-T10. The T10 model, I think, has extra auxillary inputs (on my there are rca inputs for television) Without the manuel, I would not have known my was, in fact, the T10.

I am thinking of scanning the pages of the manuels and posting them online with the hope that it will be of help to those wishing to restore there G2's.

Good luck restoring your gem - worth every engery.

Cheers
DC

I have just finished dismantling the G2 in order to have the base and speakers repainted. It is rather complicated and unusual, but that's what makes it interesting. The G2 wasn't designed for easy service. It requires patience and a bit of imagination to figure out how things were put together at the factory. I can understand why the G project was considered "labour intensive". I struggled a bit to figure out how to open the speakers. You need a very small non-metric Allen key. As for the base, the speaker wiring will need to be unsoldered or cut before the paint job, to avoid getting paint into the RCA connectors. One question: the base appears to be black anodized aluminum (that's what gives it that rough flat finish), but the speakers appear to be regular black enamel on aluminum. Wouldn't it be simpler and better to have speakers anodised also? As far as the speaker grill, it apperas to be regular window screen.

Bye,

Jean

I agree - while the G2 was design to be a very attractive system it was definitely not designed with service and maintenance – let alone restorations – in mind.

The speaker grill is indeed what appears to regular window screen but covering this screen is a black metal band with elongated, thin ovals cuts through. This metal band should be removed with caution as it will loose its shape if not removed carefully. My G2 came with two extension speakers with bases as well as the speakers that were attached with the system. I also found a badly damaged set of speakers about a year later at a yard sale and I have used this set to for parts: including having to replace one of the metals bands that had lost its shape.

I would take one of your speakers to a professional painter and have he/she have a look and base your restoring options on that. My G2 was in near mint condition (still is) when I bought it and from what I can tell the base and the speakers appear to be the same paint finish.

Hi,
There is a good possibility that JB's speakers were painted at some point previous. If such is the case, it will be revealed when the paint is removed. Even a small scratch in the paint may be enough to see what was underneath.

Anodizing can have many appearances, but most of the time do not look like paint. An experienced paint mixer at a body shop can identify it quite readily, the other option is to start with an anodzing company first, and they can usually answer all of your questions directly regarding the finish.

After browsing a few sites on aluminum anodization, I' m beginning to think that the G2 was simply painted black. Usually, anodization gives a transparent metallic look which can be dyed, and is durable and will not chip. The G2 base speakers are chipped and the undersides are uncolored, like they were spray-painted. From what I make of it, the anodization process requires parts to be dipped in chemicals. Perhaps I've been misled by the the Canadian design book which states the G2 was anodized, or is it that the process has changed since the sixties.

Otherwise, anodiztion might give the G2 an interesting look, but I don't want to diverge too much from the original design. I'm doing restoration, not renovation.

When will the maunals be on-line?

Hi,
es, you are correct that anodizing does require sevaral steps and chemical dips. In most cases, it does have the distinctive translucent metalic look. It will scratch, and sometimes it can look like a chip, but how the finish gets damaged is one way in determining which finish it is- I learned this color mapping alloy wheel colors. If the units were actually painted, by all means paint them to keep the original appearance. There are times when some books we use as a reference can be incorrect. There is only the slightest chance (concluded from following/reading this thread) that there were multiple production runs, or a running production change, so I would conclude (if the units were truly painted), that the paint technique, or materials were "cutting edge" at the time of production.

Hello,

I also have a Clairtone G2. I agree it is a wonderfull
stereo system. I also have three other Clairtone console models including a 1969 G3. It doesn't sound as
good as the G2 but still impressive. I have been a
Clairtone fan for many many years. I look forward to
sharing some information with you.

Regard,

Stan
