Striking Example of a Bendix 526C

Ref: RA1053

Incredible example of the Bendix 526C Catalin radio in a marbleized aqua blue with green and black Catalin. This Art Deco Bendix Tube Radio made circa 1946 is extremely stylish with the marbleized cabinet and contrasting black front, a color combination only found on this model catalin radio. This has to be one of the best examples that I have owned and one of only a few that is this blue.

The Art Deco styling of this model is stylish and solid. The contrasting black Catalin front brings the turquoise/aqua blue, white, clear tones alive. This model radio incorporates both a unique design + construction. The swirled green catalin top + sides are molded into one U-shaped piece that fits down over the black catalin piece which forms the front and base of the radio The two rounded corner pieces that bolt onto either side of the dial are a unique feature unlike anything found on any other radio.

Radio is in beautiful condition and has a beautiful gloss that shows off the vivid marbleized color. Radio has been cut/polished back to its factory original color. Cabinet and trim are in very perfect original condition with no cracks, chips, tube burns or repairs. Radio retains its original matching knobs, dial face and manufacturer's sticker affixed to the bottom. The back panel is a correct replacement. This radio would make for a beautiful addition to a collection.

Radio measures approximately 11" Wide x 7" High x 6" 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.
