After a visit to Pearl Paints to buy supplies my friends and I meandered to an electronic store..not a typical electronic store as this was Canal St.  At that time Canal St was were you went to buy Army surplus, plastic, plexiglas and all things electronic mostly electronic parts…the wares were outside the storefronts and all mashed up inside the stores on big tables.  Most stores on Canal St were dirty, dusty and crowded with wares jumbled up and piled on tables.…some people would consider them ‘junk’ stores.  In the rear of the store I spied a lone radio in a corner of a shelf..I was attracted by it’s color, the design especially the louvers and the handle and of course by the size and portability.  It actually worked then and has accompanied me during all my moves in the past 45 years.  It was one of my most cherished objects and has always held a place of pride in every home I have had. It was purchased for the princely sum of $12.00. I have always loved radios..especially transistor radios from my youth and teenage years…(how I wish I still had them) this radio was a step up from them…" ** We are always LOOKING TO BUY NamCo, Commander and BesTone Radios - TOP PRICE PAID FOR THIS RADIO in any color or condition.

Rare Radialva "Super-Boum" Radio in White Plaskon with Blue Trim

Unique Circular Design French Radialva "Super-Boum"

Seldom seen Radialva "Super-Boum" Radio in white Plaskon with contrasting Blue Tenite grill + knobs.  The "Super Boum" is a unique round shaped radio manufactured by Radialva in France circa 1940's. It is one of the most prized Bakelite radios from the French vintage radio market that is rarely available in the States. The design was inspired by the British "Ekco" radio in the forties, and the radio's high price and radical design with its bulls-eye grill was not well received by the public.

The chassis is inserted in the center and then enclosed by two pieces of Bakelite, like a suitcase. This French made Radialva radio with its circular design, clam-shell(interlocking) cabinet design + concentric circle grill is unlike any other radios of the time that makes for an absolutely stunning radio. The original half circle gold colored plastic dial face with names of cities around Europe is in great condition.

The pure white Bakelite cabinet has a wonderful natural gloss to it. This "Super Boum" has been well taken care of and only has some small scratches/marks consistent with light use and one almost invisible 1/2" stressline on the back section of cabinet. The fragile blue Tenite grill is complete and factory original to the radio + has one small hairline caused by mild shrinkage on the bottom, not visible when looking at radio. The Tenite knobs have some shrinkage/stress-lines as seen in the photos. These little items do not detract from the beauty and rarity of this radio.
