Stunning + Rare Example Model 200 Blue FADA Bullet

Ref: RA639

Seldom seen FADA 'Bullet' Model 200 in Blue with Butterscotch Catalin radio with great marbling - this is a beautiful + original Art Deco radio. The bluish-green patina on this radio is beautiful - radio has only been lightly polished to a high gloss. The green(blue) colored cabinet has strong veins of yellow with tones of blue running through it that makes this an incredible example. The 200 Series differs from the Model 1000 in that it has specific sharp-edge gumdrop knobs, different grill cloth, dial face with different numbering + triangular station markers and dial pointer with an orange plastic center. This radio styling epitomizes 1940's Streamline design with its sleek rounded lines that suggest speed and practicality, hallmarks of streamlined industrial design from those years. FADA produced many radios and televisions over the years, but its Catalin radios, particularly the 'Bullet' are the best-known models.

The glossy Catalin cabinet is perfect with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs and has beautiful intense marbleizing that really adds depth to the cabinet. The butterscotch trim with its 200 Series sharp edged gumdrop knobs, bezel and handle are original to the radio. Radio retains the original 200 Series grill cloth in great condition with only slight wear. Radio retains the original and stickers on the bottom of the cabinet, + cardboard back panel in great condition. Dial plastic is a correct replacement. This beautiful FADA has been well taken care of and has very few small scratches/scuffs consistent with light use.

This highly marbleized rare 200 Series blue and yellow Fada 'Bullet' is as clean as one can be found and would truly make a great addition to any radio or Deco collection.

Radio measures approximately: 10.85" wide by 6.75" high by 5.75" 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 prior to use.
