Ref: RA508
Insert Grill FADA "Bullet" Catalin Radio Model 1000 in butterscotch with bright red marbleized trim. This one owner radio is super clean, beautiful and has never had the trim removed from cabinet and therefore retains the original glue on insert grill and bezel.

The original bright red trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example of a FADA Bullet model.

The bright red catalin insert grill, dial bezel, fluted knobs and handle are original + correct to the radio, they are also in great condition with no cracks, chips, breaks or repairs.

Radio has been well taken care of and only shows some fine scratches consistent with age + careful use.
