This interesting device is a Telezoom remote control for a 1948 Garod 10TZ20 TV set. It was attached to the set by a 15/20 foot cable. When the button was pushed, the picture was made larger, cropping the sides, top and bottom.

Excerpted from a 1949 Radio-Electronics magazine "there are several innovations which add to the convenience and satisfaction of the viewer. One of the most interesting of these, introduced recently by the Garod Radio Corporation, is known as Tele-Zoom, a name that suggests the Zoomar lens which travels from a distant to a closeup view in a second or so. Tele-Zoom effectively does the same and the "zoom" is controlled by the viewer."

The push button is encased in beautiful marbled burgundy bakelite or catalin with felted underside. Impress marked in gold letters: Garod Tele-Zoom. Switch is connected to the original wire with terminals which is wrapped around a thick cardboard reel. Bakelite is 2.5" long x 1.75" wide x 1" high. In very good condition. A neat piece of television history!

Here is an antique record making machine. We were told it's for making original acetate records... for recording and playback also. We believe this is the type of machine they used to have in the 1930's and 40's at the seashore amusement arcades where you could go into a booth and friends and family could make their own record to take home as a souvenir. This one is called Sound Scriber made by the Soundscriber Corporation of New Haven, Connecticut. The underside has a paper stapled to it: License Notice and Patent Numbers Applicable to Soundscriber Transcribers: Licensed by Western Electric Company under U.S. patents of American Telephone and Telegraph Co... etc. Patent numbers run from 1939 through 1945. The housing is wood. The thick turntable is black bakelite. It's 8.25" high x 10" wide x 11.5" deep. It weighs a ton! well not really... but it seems extremely heavy for it's size... it's over 20 pounds. We don't know if it works... don't know how to test it. The wooden case has some wear and damage: 2 feet on base appear to have come off and been glued back into place; there is overflow of glue in some of the cabinet joints... at front right corner of the turntable compartment is most noticeable; a small bit of the molding is missing at the left side corner; there are scratches in the finish on top and sides that appear lighter than original surface; there are 3 chipped ends on the wooden fins on one side; and it's dirty inside the area under the turntable.

We purchased 2 of these Sound Scribers from an estate sale. We sold the other one on ebay a few months ago. It had a model number on it: Model T - 25820. I don't see the model on this one but they were almost identical except for their condition and the treatment of the underside... the other one had a quick remove panel that come off easily and we were able to photograph the interior. It had tubes inside of it, some of them were marked: Marconi of Canada. The underpanel on this one can only be removed by undoing all of the screws... so we didn't. It's a neat old item! 45s25
