You didn’t get what you wanted for Halloween and the big game just sucked, well, I have some real wonderful eye candy for you. This pumpkin orange Fada bullet is just what you need to lift your spirits! This Fada bullet is one of the all time greats, it’s the most desirable American radio of all time. I know it’s solid yellow, the most common one available, but just gaze upon it, this one is beautiful. Check the way the Autumn sunlight illuminates the catalin, it’s wonderful! The cabinet is in perfect original condition retaining it’s natural pumpkin orange patina that can only be achieved by the passing of time. Check the bottom of the cabinet and under the handle and you will see the much lighter yellow color of the catalin that was not exposed to UV light that caused the darkening of the catalin. The cabinet has never been sanded or buffed with abrasive polish like so many others have been, only gently hand cleaned with spray cleaner polish. There are no cracks, chips, or hairlines to the cabinet, it is in perfect condition. The original clear plastic dial cover has become yellowed and warped, it is included but is not installed or shown in the pictures. The chassis is very clean and for the most part it’s electronics are all original. I installed a good condition vintage power cord for safety. The radio does plays well with very good sound quality and volume but please keep in mind that the electronics are old and original and they should be updated if you want to use this radio regularly.

This radio has been refurbished with some tubes and caps and does work. Knobs are not original to the radio but functional. This radio displays very well but has some imperfection as expected that are shown in the pictures. Specifically there is damage to the dial scale. Small hole and a deep scratch. The handle was shown in the up position to let you see that it has damage that has been somewhat repaired. It is not visible when sitting on a shelf. Still a very pretty radio but wanted to clarify issues that were shown in the pictures. I want everyone to be happy!

This is a rare Fada 602 tube radio/phonograph. It is circa 1947. This piece is in great shape! The wood is excellent. There is one small place in the back bottom side about the size of a pencil eraser that is dug in but it is hard to see. There are a few scuffs and scratches that are minor. I do not know if the finish is original or not but it looks very nice. The radio works great! The dial dial/faceplate is perfect. The wooden original knobs are on the unit and in great shape. The turntable does turn. However the drop mechanism to drop the records is not working. When I put it in storage it used to work so I know it is at least all there. The turntable is 78 rpm. When the amp is switched to phonograph, I can hear it playing but it is not near as loud as the radio. Might be the needle or cartridge, not sure. One of the corner springs that help prevent skipping has come out but is there. The grill cloth looks great but does have a couple of small spots that look to be tiny tears. The interior of the record mech is in great shape. The tonearm assembly is in great shape. There is a piano hinge that holds the lid on. There is also a working arm inside that holds up lid. This is an awesome piece for a collection. Please ask questions before purchasing. I have done my best to describe it. It will be packed well and will be heavy. Thank you for looking and God bless.

FADA vintage model 711 Catalin Radio Polished Maroon Bakelite, nice, works well! Of course most were in Spanish but perhaps the radio is bilingual being it has lived all its life in El Paso, Texas. Most of the schematic is still on the bottom. This radio belonged to my wife’s mother and somehow got cracked sometime during one of our moves. I thought I would surprise my wife and restore the radio but now she feels that at our age it is best to sell it. I found a U tube video about repairing cracks on plastic and Bakelite radio cases and then ordered the Plast-Aid kit. I did everything the video said, cleaned, grooved the crack, rough sanded it, cleaned again, taped the outside of the crack, and applied the two part agent out doors as this is something you do not want to do in the house. I also used mesh to reinforce as it too was recommended. I let it cure for a week and then removed the tape and cleaned and lightly sanded again. I feel it came out great and strong. I did not attempt to fill anything and a friend said to paint it but I feel that even with the crack line it is too pretty to paint. I then used #2 plastic polish and then car wax to bring out its beauty. I realize that perhaps it sounds like the radio is a basket case but it is not. The chassis and case are clean and free of corrosion. The plastic dial cover has been cleaned and polished and while not perfect it is presentable. The antenna is also good. This is really a wonderful working radio that would stand tall in a collection or just to use.
