Ref: RA485

Rare Kadette Blue Plaskon tube radio model H also known by collectors as the 'Gothic' model. This 1931 radio was made by the International Radio Corp. in Ann Arbor, Michigan and is one of the first mass produced plastic radios. The radio is in original, untouched condition, and is just a stunning example of this Kadette model.

This extremely rare beauty is in excellent condition with no cracks, tube burns or repairs and all trim pieces are original. It does have a small chip at the on/off toggle switch caused by toggling the switch a common issue with this model and a tiny stress line on the front bottom right, barely visible . The radio still retains the original matching blue molded plaskon back, which has the common minor stress hairline cracks, heat mark and chips. These slight issues in no way detract form the beauty and rarity of this radio, as they cannot be seen from the front of the radio. Radio has the original matching blue plaskon flower knobs and gold toned metal dial scales and tags all in great condition. The light blue original fabric grill cloth on the radio is also in excellent condition with no holes or tears. This is an exceptional and rare tube radio that looks like it has been well cared for showing small light scratches consistent with light use.

Measures approximately: 8.75" Wide by 6" 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.
