Awesome 'Temple' Catalin Model 652 in marbleized alabaster(white) with bright red marbleized trim. The 652 Model was part of the 1940-1942 FADA radio lineup.

The glossy alabaster catalin cabinet is highlighted by clear + whiter marbleizing that really adds depth to the cabinet.  The cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips tube burns or repairs. Radio has been cut/polished back to its factory original alabaster color. The bright red swirled catalin dial surround and fluted knobs are original to this radio and in perfect condition with no cracks, stress lines, chips, breaks, burns or repairs.  Radio retains its original grill cloth and cardboard back both in great condition.  Reverse painted dial glass is an exact replacement for the original one, which often is damaged on this model.

This beautiful FADA has been well taken care of and has very few small scratches consistent with light use.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: 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.
