CYARTS B Deluxe 'Bullet' Radio Ruby Red Plexon + Lucite

Great Clear Lucite Dial Scale + Knobs with a Cabinet that Lights-up

Ref: RA669

The Cyarts B Deluxe radio is a seldom seen radio made entirely of the materials Plexon + Lucite. Cyarts Plastics, Inc. in Bronx, New York made this 1940s translucent ruby red colored radio. This model was advertised as the 'Moderne'. The cabinet is not molded but rather fabricated out of sheets of colored Plexon, making for an unusual radio. The radio when plugged in lites-up from the inside, which makes the radio glow. This interesting feature along with the use of different materials makes for a highly unusual and rare Art Deco radio.

This example in translucent ruby red is in perfect original condition with no crack, chips, burns or repairs and is just a stunning radio. Radio has the original lucite knobs, dial face, often missing original grill cloth and masonite back panel. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set. This radio is absolutely stunning and would make a fantastic addition to a collection.

Radio measures approximately: 13.5" wide by 7" high by 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.
