Bendix 526C Catalin Radio in Bright Jadeite Green w/ Intense Marbleizing

Stunning Example of Bendix 526C

Ref: RA718

This is a great example of the Bendix 526C Catalin radio in a fantastic highly marbleized jadeite green with bluish-turquoise tones and black Catalin. This Art Deco Bendix Tube Radio made circa 1946 is extremely stylish with the marbleized green cabinet and contrasting black front, a color combination only found on this model catalin radio. This has to be the best example that I have owned.

The Art Deco styling of this model is stylish and solid. The contrasting black Catalin front brings the green and bluish tones alive. This model radio incorporates both a unique design + construction. The swirled green catalin top + sides are molded into one U-shaped piece that fits down over the black catalin piece which forms the front and base of the radio The two rounded corner pieces that bolt onto either side of the dial are a unique feature unlike anything found on any other radio.

Radio is in beautiful original condition and retains a beautiful natural gloss that shows off the vivid marbleized color. Cabinet and trim are in very perfect original condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. Radio retains its original matching knobs, manufacturer's sticker on the bottom and the cardboard back panel. The original gold and black dial plastic is also in perfect condition. The cabinet has small surface scratches consistent with age and light careful use.

Radio measures approximately 11" Wide x 7" High x 6" 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.
