The Arizona G has travelled the furthest to be part of out collection. It is also has, what we consider, to be the sweetest story behind it. The Arizona G – a later T10 model – was originally purchased in Ontario by Tom, a Canadian forces officer who purchased the unit in 1967 (incidentally, the last year of the Project G’s production run). Soon after purchasing his Project G Tom the officer was stationed in Germany and insisted that his Project G follow him there. While in Germany he met his future wife and Tom informed us that he had many fond memories courting his while his Project G played in the background.

After his tour in Germany was up, Tom returned to Canada with his Project G and a new wife. After raising a family, Tom and his wife retired to Arizona and their Project G followed them there as well. When we were first contact by Tom about purchasing this beloved Project G (he was downsizing to a smaller condo and felt it finally time to let his stereo go)  is was as if we were being interviewed by an adoption agency. He did not want his stereo to go to just any home – it had to be a good and loving home who would appreciate his G as much as he had. We were very lucky to have passed the interview process. Tom went on to tell us that his Project G was always on during family events, always playing in the background during holidays, birthday, anniversary gatherings. It was the social center of the family.

As collectors of the Project G series we are struck by how nice those who owned and kept their Project G’s and equally struck by how attached these people are to their stereos. It has been a point of great curiosity for us to try and understand that strong connection created by this stereo.

When the Arizona G showed up it was in excellent condition and needed little more than a cleaning. Tom really did love his Project G!
