Great Early Wrap-Around FADA L-56 Catalin Radio

Ref: RA683

Great FADA L-56 catalin radio in marbleized yellow with bright red wrap-around grill. This Art Deco catalin model made in 1939 by FADA Radio + Electric Company has a beautiful design and size. This seldom seen red insert grill with a yellow cabinet is a beautiful example with beautiful marbleizing. The catalin cabinet retains the factory gloss, the red trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example. This is a great example of an all-original early FADA.

The glossy yellow catalin cabinet, handle and knobs are in excellent condition with no cracks, chips or repairs; cabinet has a mild tube burn as seen. The original bright red marbleized grill has no cracks, chips or repairs. The beautiful graphic dial is bright and in great condition. The dial plastic + water-slide decal are correct replacements. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set. This radio is as clean as one can be found and would truly make a great addition to any radio or Deco collection.

Radio measures approximately: 9" wide by 5.5" high by 4" 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.
