Rare Globe 532 Catalin Radio in Merlot + Yellow
Uniquely Designed GLOBE Catalin Radio
Ref: RA916
Seldom seen GLOBE catalin radio in a Merlot with Butterscotch trim. This radio with the dial on the left side makes for a unique design feature not found on other catalin radios of the time. This beautiful Art Deco radio features a butterscotch catalin 'waterfall' speaker insert grill + knobs. The GLOBE model radio differs from the Arvin in a few ways; dial and pointer are different, knobs are cylinders and always yellow, has a water-slide decal, chassis is different along with the mounting points for chassis.
The glossy plum catalin cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. The catalin grille and knobs are factory original to the radio with no cracks, chips, burns or repairs. The dial plastic and the GLOBE water-slide decal are correct replacements. Radio has been well taken care of and only shows some fine scratches consistent with age + careful use.
Radio measures approximately 8.5" wide x 6" high x 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.
