Ref: RA432
Beautiful + Rare Fada model 700 'Cloud' catalin radio in marbleized blue with ivory. The Catalin model 700 'Cloud' was made starting in 1946 by the FADA Radio & Electric Co. This model was one of three new designs for the postwar period. The original blue catalin, which has taken on a beautiful bluish-green and yellow swirl patina, is the rarest color to find.
The shiny blueish-green cabinet has yellow swirls running throughout that give it depth. Cabinet has no cracks, chips, burn marks, or repairs. It is uncommon to find a blue 700 in perfect condition. The ivory pearlized plastic handle and knobs are original to the radio and are in perfect condition. This set retains its original reverse painted dial plastic + masonite back.
Measures approximately: 10.5" wide x 6.5" high x 5.5" 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.
