Fada 53 / 5F50 Catalin Radio in Butterscotch + Green
Superb Example of this Early FADA 5F50 Catalin Radio
Ref: RA657
Beautiful prewar Fada model 53 / 5F50 Catalin radio in marbleized butterscotch with a bright green grill insert. Wonderful Art Deco model made in 1938 by FADA Radio + Electric Company has a beautiful design and size. This yellow and bright green example is all original and in great condition with a beautiful glossy finish. Green grill makes for a wonderful contrast with the butterscotch cabinet.
The faintly marbleized cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips or repairs; it does have a minor tube burn that blends with cabinet coloration. The bright green catalin insert grill is also free of cracks, chips or repairs. Clear dial plastic cover and water slide decal are correct replacements. This beautiful FADA has been well taken care of and has very few small scratches consistent with light use.
The radio measures 7.75" wide by 5.75" high by 4.75" 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.
