Fada 711 'Dip-Top' Catalin Radio Lapis Lazuli Blue + Ivory

Perfect + Rare Blue/Green FADA Dip-Top Catalin Radio

Ref: RA878

Rare and desirable marbleized lapis-lazuli blue 1946 Fada 711 'Dip-Top' Catalin radio - the last of the Catalin models made by Fada Radio.  The beautiful catalin case has intense yellow marbleizing. This collectible radio has become known to collectors as the 'Dip-Top' due to the indent design which makes the handle convenient to grab.  The Catalin cabinet has taken on a beautiful and even patina which makes the swirls pop.

This radio has no chips, cracks, tube burns or repairs to the catalin case. The ivory marbled knobs + handle are original and also free of any damage. The bright gold and colorful Fada sunburst dial face with Saturn pointer is in great original condition. Radio retains the original masonite back panel. Dial plastic is a correct replacement and gold grill mesh has been re-flocked back to its original state.  If you desire I can polish this radio back to the factory original bright blue at an additional cost.

Radio measures approximately: 9.75" wide x 5.75" high x 4.5" 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 prior to use.
