Striking + Rare FADA 1000 'Insert Bullet' Catalin Radio in maroon with yellow trim. The catalin cabinet displays a rich, warm maroon with patina'd yellow trim that only 70 years can achieve. The original yellow trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example of a FADA Bullet model. This radio styling epitomizes 1940's Streamline design with its sleek rounded lines that suggest speed and practicality, hallmarks of streamlined industrial design from those years. FADA produced many radios and televisions over the years, but its Catalin radios, particularly the 'Bullet' are the best-known models.

The Catalin cabinet retains the factory gloss with no cracks, chips, breaks, tube burns or repairs. The yellow catalin insert grill, dial bezel, fluted knobs and handle are original + correct to the radio, they are also in great condition with no cracks, chips, breaks or repairs. The Art Deco gold 'Gemloid' dial face is bright and in great condition. Radio retains the original back panel in good condition. Clear dial plastic cover is a correct replacement. Radio has been well taken care of and only shows some fine scratches consistent with age + careful use. This a seldom seen radio that will make for a great addition to a collection
