Jadeite Green Marbleized Bendix 526C Catalin Radio

Striking Example of a Bendix 526C

Ref: RA818

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

The Art Deco styling of this model is stylish + solid. The contrasting black Catalin front brings the green, bluish, white and 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, back panel and manufacturer's sticker affixed to the bottom. The original and less common green and ivory dial plastic is also in perfect condition. 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; cord is cut. Set is being sold as a "non-working" vintage electronic device that should be gone over by a qualified technician.
