Kadette 'Clockette' K26 Radio in Clear ‘Blue Glass’ Catalin - Ultra Rare

Incredible Blue Glass / Clear Green Kadette Clockette

Ref: RA768

Exceedingly Rare Clear 'Blue Glass' Catalin Kadette 'Clockette' model K26 radio.  Referred by Kadette in advertisements as 'Blue Glass' due to it being clear and originally blue from the factory; it has now oxidized to a beautiful medium bright green. The Clockette with its elegant cube design, etched grooves that wrap around and its distinctive 'clock ' style brass dial bezel is unlike any other catalin radio.  This radio's absolutely striking clear cabinet allows you to see the internal components of the radio! This is a great example of this Kadette 'Clockette' model.

This color combination when one can be found is prone to damage due to the manufacturing process, clear 'crystlin' catalin material, grooves and tight fit of chassis. This example is no exception and therefore the cabinet was professionally repaired by Dan Blake many years back and looks spectacular; virtually impossible to see repair on this clear catalin radio. 

The clear green catalin radio cabinet has an incredible gloss and it is absolutely striking on display. The two matching catalin front knobs and rear clear catalin knob are original to the radio and damage free. Brass dial bezel, mesh screen and pointer are original to the radio and exhibit some light signs of age. Water-slide decal is a correct replacement. Radio has small scratches, scuffs consistent with age + use of set. This radio is absolutely striking and it would make a fantastic addition to a radio collection as it is not something that comes to market often.

Radio measures approximately: 7" wide by 7" high by 5" 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 prior to use.
