Offered for your consideration is this wonderful little compact, super collectible Stewart Warner, model # R-514 – a very Deco tube radio manufactured in 1946. This radio is known as the Reverse Bullet. Almost all bullet radios have the bullet curve on the right, but this one is on the left making it very rare and very tough to find. The dial and numbers are clean and clear. All of the original wax paper capacitors have been replaced. The radio brings in a lot of stations for its size. The body has been coated with very high quality automotive product; the cord has been replaced with a polarized plug. Also featuring: nice deco body styling, louvered bakelite grill and it has its original knobs; and the off/on/volume and tuner both work smoothly. The clam shell back is a good reproduction. The measurements are: 10″ across, 6.5″ high and 5.5 wide. This radio will continue to give years of good service. Every radio I sell has been thoroughly serviced – tubes tested, components checked and then the unit is lubricated and cleaned inside and out. The work performed can be seen in the pictures of the chassis and/or found in the radio description.

Vtg Fada Catalin Bullet Tube Radio Model 1000 All Original Unrestored Complete
fada
Comments Off
This radio is in all original unrestored condition. It has not been cleaned, as-found condition. Will leave any cleaning to the new owner. It retains its original back with model number and tube layout. It does have dirt and some small paint specs from someone who must have painted nearby at some point in its lifetime. Amazingly, there are no cracks. There is one tiny chip as shown in the last picture, I put a blue pen next to the chip for size reference. The chip is very small and not visible when displayed youd really have to be looking for it. When turned on the radio takes a minute to warm up but has a loud hum. It does try to pull in stations but they play very garbled. Either display as is or would be a great candidate for restoration! The item “Vtg Fada Catalin Bullet Tube Radio Model 1000 All Original Unrestored Complete” is in sale since Thursday, September 17, 2020.

All addresses must be confirmed through Pay Pal, no exceptions. We consider ourselves to be a very honest and try to list every detail known to us in our listings.

FADA Bullet catalin tube radio vintage fada

Comments Off
This Fada Bullet radio will make a wonderful Autumn treat! The yellow / pumpkin orange catalin case is in very nice lightly hand polished condition, not sanded. There are no cracks, chips, stress lines, or any other kind of damage to the catalin case. This model is the very hard to find deleted grill version. This is the way it came from the factory, it is not missing the grill insert. Most catalin radios that came from their factories with deleted grills have the appearance of missing something. Somehow the styling of the Fada Bullet with the deleted grill just works. This radio is untested and the power cord has been removed. The chassis is clean and appears to be in original condition. Overall this radio should prove to be an easy restoration. Autumn is here and I can’t think of a better radio {well maybe one or two} to welcome it with than this Fada Bullet catalin! During those cold gray months that are coming you’ll wish you had this sunny radio to warm your heart! If YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED ANY SPECIFIC PICTURES, PLEASE ASK. The item “FADA Bullet catalin tube radio vintage fada” is in sale since Wednesday, October 16, 2019.
