But they didn\u2019t come with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/vintage-record-players\/\">record players<\/a> and amplifiers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/buy\/clairtone-project-g\/\">Project G<\/a> came with proprietary amplifiers and speakers, engineered and built by Clairtone, and boasted state-of-the-art Garrard Lab turntables complete with tonearms trimmed with wood. Over the past 30 years, 20cdesign has painstakingly restored both the components and cabinetry of the Clairtone systems it&#8217;s had in house. Recently, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfmoma.org\">San Francisco Museum of Modern Art<\/a> sourced a rare first-generation Project G, one of only around 300 ever produced, from 20c for its current exhibition \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfmoma.org\/exhibition\/art-of-noise\/\">Art of Noise<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in Canada in 1958, Clairtone was a partnership between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/furniture\/style\/scandinavian-modern\/\">Scandinavian-furniture<\/a> importer David Gilmour and audio engineer Peter Munk, who teamed up with industrial designer Hugh Spencer to create the ultimate home audio system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1966, after the G1 had been on the market for two years, Clairtone launched the dialed-down Project G2, designed by Al Faux. Although similar in appearance to its predecessor, it had smaller speakers; a molded acrylic lid, replacing the tambour door; and a black T-shaped pedestal base made of aluminum. \u201cThey wanted to reengineer it to keep it stylish but more efficient to build,\u201d Rucker explains. \u201cThe cost of the G1 was out of touch with the average music and design lover.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/creators\/clairtone\/furniture\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"950\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-950x634.jpg\" alt=\"The turntable and album-storage compartment of the 1964 Clairtone Project G1 hi-fi stereo system offered by 20cdesign\" class=\"wp-image-418837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-950x634.jpg 950w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-525x350.jpg 525w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view-1399x933.jpg 1399w, https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/blogs\/the-study\/wp-content\/uploads\/20cDesign-Clairtone-Project-G1-hero-top-view.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 950px) 100vw, 950px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The example offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.1stdibs.com\/dealers\/20cdesigncom\/\">20cdesign<\/a> has a pink-felt-lined storage compartment for records.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The G2 was sold in Macy\u2019s, Marshall Field&#8217;s and other department stores, promoted by Dean Martin and featured in director Mike Nichols\u2019s 1967 classic comedy <em>The Graduate<\/em>.
