FADA 5F60 Catalin Radio Yellow with Green Insert Grill

Beautiful Early Art Deco FADA 5F60 or 'Baby Fada' Catalin Radio

Ref: RA395

Fada 5F60 Catalin radio in faintly marbleized yellow with a bright green insert grill. This rare prewar 1936/37 is one of the earliest catalin radio models made and has a simple and distinct cabinet design. This yellow + green example is all-original and in great condition with a beautiful glossy finish. This is a striking radio color combination. This model has come to be known to collectors as the 'Baby Fada' because of its small size.

The catalin cabinet retains the factory gloss, the green trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example. Catalin cabinet, insert grill and fluted knobs are original to the radio and have no cracks, chips or repairs. Cabinet has a mild tube burn on the left side as seen in photo. Clear dial plastic cover is a replacement. This beautiful FADA has been well taken care of and has very few small scratches consistent with light use. This is a great example of an all-original early FADA.

The radio measures 7.75" wide by 5" high by 4.75" 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.
