Does it look brand new? Let’s see how we got to this result

Prior the restoration- it could be in these conditions after 60/70 years

Or be delivered like this if it traveled in an inadequate package

Or even worse if it was highly damaged during the shipping

THE WOODEN CABINET - its restoration might require the complete removal of varnish and original cladding

Original varnish removal implies the removal of any other type of upholstery and decorations that should be photographed and measured in order for them to be faithfully rebuilt

Here is the cabinet after the painting. The restoration technique employed on the cabinet will depend on its age and on the originally employed technique

KNOBS. You begins with a pivot identical to the one on the radio device. On the same device pivot might have different diameters and forms

Starting from an original knob you can build the molds and then you create the new knob with a mixture of the same color of the original knobs

DIALGLASS- with a software you can prepare a file and then you print out a film for each color (in the picture there are two colors, gold and black)

The negative films give gelatine to the structures in the dark and you let them dry in the oven

The structures, incised with a gush of water, are dried and are ready for the serigraphic projection on glass

Layers of paint are spread and it goes through the non-clogged holes of the structure

In order to get to a dialglass which is completely undistinguishable from the original

LOUDSPEAKER PANEL - the front canvas is dry cleaned by a specialized dry cleaner

Sometimes restoring the weave needs to be restored with original yarn

ELECTRONIC - the cleaning phase is very important for the mechanical and electronic restoration. In the picture only half of the device has been cleaned

Here is what a cleaned and ready for the mechanical restoration device looks like

Restoration and calibration of the chords and tuning mechanism following original instructions

Electronic restoration implies the substitution of all condensers and of other risk or outside tolerance components

Sometimes it is necessary to restore alimentation or output transformers following building techniques of that time

Components can not be judged based on their aspect. This condenser is perfect on the outside and has a brand value of 500 pF and an effective value of 1412

The diodes bridges are almost always used up, they are disassembled and reassembled with the necessary alterations to bring the tension to the levels required by the project

On the electrostatic loudspeakers the membrane or the elastic absorbent are substituted

Sometimes some parts need to be completely rebuilt

Some loudspeakers are blocked or distort the sound. They need to be reassembled after mending the damage

Often the potentiometers are blocked, interrupted or oxidised and they are disassembled and mended

The tubes are tested one by one and, when necessary, substituted

The record players are restored and tested

Lastly: the calibration of every stage following meticulously the manufacturer’s instructions

UPGRADE - necessary accessories to interface radios with outer devices, headphones, record players, CD players, MP3 etc.

In order to get to these results

Or to devices with mirror finishing touch

Or with a finishing touch that makes the beauty and the scent of wood stand out

Creating wonderful objects that furnish a luxury place with class
