Symphony Catalin Radio 'Split-Grille' in Butterscotch + Blue

Incredible Rare Symphony 'Split-Grille' Catalin Radio

Ref: RA625

Rare Symphony Catalin 'Split Grille' radio with a butterscotch cabinet and marbleized blue trim (oxidized to bluish-green). Manufactured in 1938/1939 by the Record-O-Vox Inc., the Symphony remains one of the top catalin radios to be found. The radio’s beautiful translucent + marbleized butterscotch cabinet is highlighted by the blue swirled trim which makes this an exceptional example of a rare Symphony radio.

This color Symphony is one of the 4 color combinations manufactured. Finding an original Symphony such as this one is extremely difficult and this might be one of your only chance at acquiring an example. This color combo has a wonderful vibrancy due to the contrast of the trim and cabinet. This radio would make for an incredible addition to any collection.

This all-original radio has only been lightly polished and looks awesome. The butterscotch catalin cabinet is in excellent condition with no chips, tube burns or repairs; however it does have a tight tiny barely visible hairline on the bottom rear screw hole going to back edge (tiny); as seen in photo. The marbleized blue catalin grills, handle + knobs are complete and without damage and factory original to the radio and have a beautiful original patina. Radio retains the original chassis, metal embossed name tag, deco dial + pointer  The dial plastic is a correct replacement. Radio has been well taken care of and only shows some fine scratches consistent with age + careful use.
