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

Ref: RA367

The Cyarts B Deluxe radio is a radio made entirely of the materials Plexon + Lucite. Cyarts Plastics, Inc. in Bronx, New York made this 1946 butterscotch colored radio. 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 butterscotch is in perfect original condition with no crack, chips, burns or repairs and is just a stunning radio. Radio has original trim and masonite back panel. Lucite etched dial has a few small scratches consistent with use and knobs are original. Grill cloth is a period correct replacement with similar pattern to original.

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.
