THIS IS A VINTAGE 1940S FADA 1000 BULLET ART DECO CATALIN BUTTERSCOTCH ANTIQUE TUBE RADIO I BOUGHT YEARS AGO AND HAVE NOT PLUGGED IT IN. HE STARTED TO WORK ON IT BUT DID NOT FINISH. 10 1/2″ X 5 1/2″. THE CHASSIS LOOKS TO BE ORIGINAL AND IN NEED OF RESTORATION. I KEPT IT ON DISPLAY BUT NOW PARTING WITH MOST OF MY THINGS I NO LONGER NEED BECAUSE OF HEALTH. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PICTURES IT IS A BEAUTIFUL RADIO THAT SHINES AND LOOKS GREAT IT HAS A FEW SCRATCHES, STRESS MARKS, TUBE BURNS, DIRT, JUST THE WAY I GOT IT. I WOULD NEVER PLUG IN A VINTAGE RADIO AS OLDER ELECTRONICS CANNOT BE TRUSTED. PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES IT IS A BEAUTIFUL RADIO FOR DISPLAY OR YOU COULD HAVE IT RESTORED.
