Addison 2 'Waterfall' Radio in Light Yellow Catalin + Maroon Bakelite
Seldom Seen All-Original Addison Color Combo
Ref: RA977
Beautiful Light Yellow Catalin Cabinet with Maroon Bakelite Addison 2 tube radio made circa 1940 by Addison Industries Limited in Canada. The unique styling and bold use of color would make this radio a truly beautiful addition to any collection. This stylized Art Deco radio features the famous "waterfall" speaker grill trim and surround "bumpers" with speed-lines that really make for a streamlined radio design. It is not often that you find an all original yellow catalin with maroon bakelite trim example. The cabinet is a beautiful light yellow with faint marbleizing that really adds depth to the cabinet.
The radio is in original, untouched condition, and is just a stunning example of this catalin Addison model. The glossy catalin cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. The original maroon bakelite trim is complete and factory original to the radio and has no cracks, chips, burns or repairs. The original matching butterscotch catalin 'pinwheel' marbleized knobs are perfect. Clear dial plastic cover and dial are correct replacements.
Radio measures approximately 10.25" wide x 6" high x 5" deep. This set is sold "as-is + untested", the chassis seems complete. Set is being sold as a "non-working" vintage electronic device that should be gone over by a qualified technician.
