A.DECO RADIO
OUR BIO: Our combined
70+ years of artistic and audio/visual experience consists of Art Deco
furniture design, woodwork restoration and a life long career in
promotion, product and sound divisions within the music industry. In
addition, our secondary principle member has a lifelong career in
A TRULY WONDERFUL PAIRING!
CONCEPT & GOAL: We are Art Deco
Sound! Our concept & goal is to unite two Eras. The 20th Century
Art Deco Design Era of these Radio cabinets with the 21st Century Modern
Day Sound Era invention of the Bluetooth speaker.
The Art-Deco Design
Era was one of the most bold and stylistic design concepts ever and still
is! Even
with today’s emphasis on technology and smart devices, there is a sense of
comfort and warmth in identifying back to a simpler yet
more sophisticated time. The Art Deco design was
implemented into wood radio cabinets in the 1930s & 40s.
Due to several of our
custom Dial installation techniques that we have developed allows us to replace
the old chassis with an actual Bluetooth stereo speaker with the addition of
LED lighting. Therefore creating the concept of pairing these two together!
Vintage cabinetry with modern day high-technology stereo sound!
By accommodating these
historical Art Deco cabinets with the invention of the Bluetooth speaker is
quite the experience. You can now actually See and Hear these precious
Art Deco cabinets come alive once again with proper modern
day stereo sound!
Over nearly the past 100
years the concept of Art Deco design occurred and electronic inventions
evolved. The Art Deco design movement was the causation of these
cabinets. Current day electronics of a supreme quality Bluetooth speaker
encompassing a base, mid-range & tweeter all in one stereo speaker
with internet capabilities bring these American treasures back to life!
We feel if Bluetooth speakers existed almost a century ago they would
have been the stock chassis of the day. Couple these beautiful Art Deco
cabinets with supreme stereo sound and you now have all the features of the
finest visually artistic design of yesteryear with the quality sound experience
of today.
Bluetooth speakers of today lack design. Art Deco radios with the original
tube chassis lack sound quality, wattage and are limited to AM only.
Therefore, we feel compelled to join these two together! Breathing
new sound technology into these historical cabinets allows for
streaming, all radio station apps with all the internet has to offer from a
sound perspective.
Welcome to the World of
WARF
Wi-Fi Access Radio Frequency
CHASSIS vs. BLUETOOTH
SPEAKER: It is very unfortunate that the art of replacing tubes,
capacitors, resisters, filters etc. on the original tube chassis does not allow
the strength required to capture, decode and then transmit any quality audible
sound, signal or consistent frequency that drives radio communications of
today. Therefore, we have selected a brand new, removable, 20 watt Raymate
Bluetooth Stereo Speaker in replace of the traditional tube chassis. This
results with an outstanding maximum full stereo audio performance! You now can
enjoy AM/FM nationwide and international live radio station apps, podcasts,
Sirius Radio, as well stream Pandora, iTunes, You-tube, and any other audio
entertainment. STREAM ALL YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC BY REMOTE FROM YOUR SMART
PHONE OR ON ANY OTHER PAIRED DEVICE! The knobs & pointer do not turn.
The sound that the 20-Watt Bluetooth Speaker combined with vintage wood
cabinetry gives off is an extremely unique warm vintage quality sound! The
Bluetooth Speaker can also be easily transported without the cabinet for easy
use inside or outside the home or office.
Extensive Cabinet Restoration
W/ Modern Day Stereo Sound Replacement!
RESTORATION PROCESS: (Cabinet
& Audio) We appreciate and understand the desire to keep the interior
and exterior of these Art Deco radios stock. However, we feel the fine
cabinetry is clearly the focal point of all vintage Art Deco radios. Throughout
our restoration process we are conscience of preserving the natural wood
elements and that the design features remain intact. The cabinet
goes through an extensive revitalization process to preserve and retain the craftsmanship
of these uniquely designed American historic artifacts.
Using a
multi-step sanding process, we carefully remove, by hand, all of the old layers
of stain and/or other unnatural elements that have encased the precious woods
as well as all repairs needed for these masterpieces. Once the cabinet
reaches the bare wood stage, a custom blend of modern day stains and toners are
used to bring back and highlight the natural wood grains. The cabinet is
then treated with a series of high-gloss, clear coat lacquer applications.
The action of wet sanding between each clear coat application, along with a
final hand-glazing, ensure a mirror like luster & shine to the cabinet.
We strive to
bring these cabinets back to life looking the way we feel they should have or
could have looked. By using modern day stains and toner color options that did
not exist in the past enables us to brighten and highlight the wood grains like
never before! This results in making these Radio cabinets look better than they
ever did!
We also feel
these cabinets deserve a replacement from an Audio aspect as
well. By adding a modern day Bluetooth stereo speaker breathes new
life into these unique pieces! We do not feel this compromise's the
piece but rather enhances the experience as a whole, both from a visual and
audio perspective. It is truly an amazing experience to See & actually Hear
these amazing pieces come ALIVE ONCE AGAIN! The radio is truly smiling
and saying thank you for its rejuvenation!
