Ref: RA679

Great FADA L-56 catalin radio in marbleized yellow with bright lapis-lazuli blue wrap-around grill. This Art Deco catalin model made in 1939 by FADA Radio + Electric Company has a beautiful design and size. This seldom seen blue insert grill with a yellow cabinet is a beautiful example with beautiful marbleizing. The catalin cabinet retains the factory gloss, the blue trim adds contrast and style to this stunning example. This is a great example of an all-original early FADA.

The glossy yellow catalin cabinet, handle and knobs are in excellent condition with no cracks, chips or repairs; cabinet has a mild tube burn as seen. The original bright blue marbleized grill has no cracks, chips or repairs; grill has been cut/polished back to its original lapis-lazuli color from it's oxidized green coloring and looks incredible. The beautiful graphic dial is bright and in great condition. The dial plastic + water-slide decal are correct replacements. Radio has small scratches consistent with age + use of set. This radio is as clean as one can be found and would truly make a great addition to any radio or Deco collection.

Radio measures approximately: 9" wide by 5.5" high by 4" 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.
