Butterscotch Catalin ADDISON Courthouse Radio Working Vintage. Up for sale is a very impressive yellow/butterscotch Addison tube radio from the 1940s in cosmetically wonderful shape. Prior to shooting it, I had not noticed that the last vertical bar on the right had slid over to the left and it should be re-glued into position as in photo #. The knobs and bars are all of a deep burgundy color (closer to photo # 11). The cloth over the speaker (which is in very fine condition) should also be straightened and re-glued. Whatever streaks you might see on the outside is marbleizing in the Catalin, and there are no visible cracks in the case – except on the INSIDE floor (see photos 9 & 10). However, these do NOT show on the bottom’s exterior. (Such cracks form over time due to the shrinkage of the Catalin, while the chassis remained the same). The radio has its original cord and several stations can be heard clearly, but with some static between each. It can use some diligent cleaning to reach the desired yellow that most suits your taste, or simply leave as is. Tube, radio, bakelite, fada, emerson, transistor.

These sets came in catalin and wood but the wood version seems to be hardest to find. These radios are well known for their stylish Art Deco design that perfectly reflect the era. If you know radios, youll know that these sets are highly sought after and keep climbing in price. This radio is entirely useable and displays beautifully. Cabinet looks to have been refinished with replacement of grill cloth and decal. The knobs are all present with their felt washers. That said, as is the case in most 80 year old radios, it has some cons. The original field coil speaker has been replaced with a permanent magnet type and the field coil mounted to the replacement speakers frame. It has a slight garble at low volumes that straightens out when the volume is increased. The mounting holes on the cabinets bottom have sustained some damage in the past which cant be seen unless you remove the two mounting screws. It looks to have been recapped and a number of resistors replaced. If I had performed the work, it would have been a bit tidier. Either way, they dont come around often so heres your chance to own a rare gem. It installs simply with two screws and a detailed tube layout will be included.

NICE WORKING VINTAGE ADDISON 5D. The radio was recently checked over, two resistors replaced and the radio works fine and still has one Addison tube. There is a repair to a hairline crack in the cone of the speaker as shown in the photos. I have played the radio quite loud for extended periods with no vibration/rattle or distortion. The radio has a nice warm sound and is surprisingly loud. The cabinet has very nice marbling and shine and the grill cloth is clean and in tact. The power indicator light works, as does the band selector and volume control. The underside of the radio has the original sticker showing the tube layout. There is a thin drip of some kind of clear residue on the right side of the case that is virtually invisible and i have not attempted to clean. Please note that all of the photos were taken in bright, atypical lighting, so beware of reflections. Other photos available upon request. A fine sought-after piece of vintage Canadian radio history!
