Vintage Fada Model 1000 Catalin bullet tube radio, all original, excellent. The original Fada Model 1000 radio is among the most iconic designs of the 20th century. It graces the exhibits of museums and galleries around the world. Yet it was made right here in the U. In Long Island City, NY, during the technologys golden era, when radio was king. Check out the Model 1000s streamlined Catalin bakelite cabinet. Its eye-popping original dark coffee & yellow colors, classic A. Dial, and retractable top handle, all make it highly sought after, especially in this sterling shape. The gorgeous Fada Model 1000 that you see here is in full working condition, and it has never had a break or repair. In fact, it hardly has a scratch on it, except on the underside, and not many there either. Please look closely at the pics — youd be hard-pressed to find a finer example. Ive owned this Fada radio for over a decade, and took great care of it. Before that, and for many years, it was behind glass in a Catalin collection. It will look just as fine on display in your own home, gallery, or office. Im sure if you looked super close you could find a few tiny micro-scratches, near impossible to photograph, 73 years on. Overall though, this is the cleanest example Ive seen in a good while. You may rest assured all my photos and description are accurate, with no unpleasant surprises. I know youll enjoy owning this legendary radio as much as I have. Also, I pack extremely well, like a vault. Your Fada radio will arrive to you safe, sound, and ready to take a premiere place in your own collection. The item “Now on sale, save $600!

Fada catalin bullet vintage tube radio

Comments Off
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. Please see my other items for another catalin Lafayette radio. The item “Fada catalin bullet vintage tube radio” is in sale since Monday, November 5, 2018.

Vintage 1940s Fada 1000 115 Bullet Catalin Butterscotch Radio Art Deco

Rare vintage Fada Bullet tube radio. Perfect candidate for restoration or use for parts to repair another radio. I did clean the outside and I cant believe how shiny it got. The case is solid but has some dark spots and what looks like cracks but I dont believe it goes through to the inside. The ring around the dial does have a crack in it. The volume knob turns to the on position and then up like it should. The tuner knob turns the dial but the face is bubbled out a little on the one side so it stops there. There is no handle on the top. Please view the pictures for condition. If you have any questions please ask.

This is a vintage 1945 Fada 1000 Butterscotch Catalin Radio that I bought some years ago and have not plugged it in. The person I bought it from said he started to work on it but did not finish but he said it did work but the dial light was dim. 10 1/2″ long by 5 1/2″ wide. The chassis looks all original and in need of restoration. I kept it on display but now parting with a few things I do not need. As you can see from the pictures the radio does not have any cracks on the finish and the inside has scratches, tube burns, dirt, and just the way I got it. I would never plug it in as older electronics cannot be trusted. Please look at the pictures it is a beautiful radio and will look good on display or if you want to have it restored. The dial works as well as the volume knob. The radio will be double boxed for added protection.
