Stunning + Rare Example 200 Series Blue FADA Bullet

Ref: RA820

Seldom seen FADA 'Bullet' 200 Series in Lapis-Lazuli Blue with Yellow Catalin radio with incredible intense marbling - this is a beautiful + original Art Deco radio. The bright blue cabinet has veins of white with tones of blue and clear 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 radios 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 or repairs and has beautiful intense marbleizing that really adds depth to the cabinet. Radio has been cut/polished back to its factory original blue color. The yellow trim with its 200 Series sharp edged gumdrop knobs, bezel and handle are original to the radio and perfect.  Radio retains the original gold and silver 200 Series grill cloth in great condition.  The 200 Series gold 'gemloid' dial face with different numbering, triangular station markers is different from the standard Model Fada 1000.  Radio retains the original cardboard back panel. Dial plastic is a correct replacement.

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