Superb Example of an Early FADA 5F60 Catalin Radio

Ref: RA1022

Beautiful + Rare Fada 5F60 Catalin radio in marbleized yellow with a translucent tortoise 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 model has come to be known to collectors as the 'Baby Fada' because of its small size. This yellow and tortoise example is all-original and in great condition with a beautiful glossy finish, the translucent and swirled tortoise grille adds contrast and style to this stunning example. This is an uncommon color combination.

The marbleized cabinet is in excellent condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. The bright tortoise catalin insert grill is beautifully marblelized and is also free of cracks, chips or repairs.  Catalin fluted knobs are original and also have no cracks, chips or repairs. Clear dial plastic cover + Fada decal are correct replacements. This beautiful FADA has been well taken care of and has very few small scratches consistent with light use and age. This is truly a great example of an all-original early FADA model.

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