Arvin 532 Catalin Radio in Yellow with Tortoise Trim
Uniquely Designed Deco Arvin Catalin Radio
Ref: RA917
Perfect Arvin Model 532 catalin radio in a butterscotch with translucent marbleized tortoise trim from 1940. This radio with the dial on the left side with its chunky 'tractor wheel' knobs makes for unique design features not found on other catalin radios of the time. This beautiful Art Deco radio features a translucent tortoise catalin 'waterfall' speaker insert grill + knobs.
The glossy yellow catalin cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. The translucent and swirled catalin trim is complete and factory original to the radio. Trim has no cracks, chips, burns or repairs. The dial plastic is a correct replacement. Radio has been well taken care of and only shows some fine scratches consistent with age + careful use.
Radio measures approximately 8.5" 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.
