Knock- out beautiful 1951 Majestic Bakelite radio model 5 LA 7 / 5 LA 8 with custom lacquer paint. Velvet smooth Steel Blue metallic body with Indian ivory Cream lacquer louvers, makes this radio look like a million bucks! A one of a kind art piece. We first started with a perfect bakelite cabinet. No cracks, no chips, no excuses. Then expertly painted with automotive lacquer and polished to perfection. Beautiful original reverse painted glass dial. Original rare Faceted crystal clear plastic knobs. Radio powers on but only static. Radio will need repairs to play. I see a small fine scratch on the top at the right rear. I collected only fine machine age Bakelite radio sets and always leave the electric components in original condition working or not. To me, these radios are art / architectures. This is a rare radio – not often found. Please inspect all photos and ask questions.
