Vintage MCM Trutest 5 Tube Superheterodyne KT-204 Kit Radio (Working Japan). For restoration is a great looking Trutest 5 tube Superheterodyne KT-204 kit radio with Jetsons like styling, retaining it’s original 6 foot 5 inch power cord, marbleized hard plastic case resting on a swivelling base. Small radio measures 5-3/16 inches in height, 8-11/16 inches in length, and 4-9/16 inches in width not including either of the two knobs, working, and being surprisingly loud, but obviously needing some servicing as it sounds like the Daleks are invading. The case needs a full restoration and shows some damage, there being a small distorted area at the top backside where it appears like it over heated, with the faceplate showing a few cracks where the retaining screws were over tightened, and also missing it’s name plate “see photos”. Note; photo of information back plate not from this radio. Note; if you are outside of Canada or the U.

This richly marbleized brown bakelite vintage vacuum tube radio epitomizes ART DECO like no other radio. This 6 tube superheterodyne receiver is a model L-96W. Beautiful stylized cabinet AND the finest marbling I have ever seen in brown bakelite cabinet. Frank Angelo D’ Andrea born in 1888 in Salerno Italy was the creator of Fada radios. The DAndreas recently widowed mother moved the family to New York in 1890 when Frank was 18 months old. At age 11, he had to leave school and go to work but spent his nights studying drafting and mathematics. Franks youth endeavors included a newspaper boy, stable boy, and boxer. He left all of this behind when in 1913 he graduated from an engineering course, and began working for the Frederick Pierce company doing experimental work for inventors. For the name of his company he adopted his initials F. When the radio boom hit in late 1921, Fada couldnt produce radios fast enough. The example offered here is without cracks, chips, nicks, dings, deep scratches, or tube burns. It retains all factory original knobs, grill cloth, and fiberboard back panel. 14″W x 9″H x 7D. IF you are looking for a bargain, and enjoy the pleasure that is derived from doing your own restoration at your pace, please check out these most affordable radios. You can listen to Spotify, IHeart, Pandora, Sirius XM, and many FM radio stations through this old vintage radio.

At FIRST glance, this radio might APPEAR to be chocolate Bakelite – but upon close inspection, you can see that it is CATALIN, which has been discolored over the decades. When viewed in good light, (these photos were taken outside, in sunlight) you can still see the dark green and cream, “marbleized” swirl. More visible on the top & underside, than on the other parts of the case. This radio looks to be a good candidate for restoring. There are NO significant chips or cracks in the Catalin radio case. I admit that I’m NOT an expert in this area, but I’ll do my best to describe this properly. A metal part, inside the radio, is marked: EMERSON. ” A small paper label reads: “S. ” I’ve seen very similar looking radios listed as “AU-190 – I’m not sure what the difference is. The BACK is not present, but as near as I can tell, the INSIDES are complete. I HAVE NOT TESTED IT. The cloth covered cord is frayed and has visibly exposed wire – to be honest, I’m afraid to plug it in! The thin plastic celluloid? Face cover is discolored and foggy. You can barely see inside it, but I CAN see that the station indicating needle is present and responds properly when the center dial / knob it turned. The cloth speaker cover appears to be original and has a small frayed spot near the bottom / right corner. All 3 knobs look to be original. As mentioned above, except for the darkened color, the Catalin body is nice. It has some surface scratches, but no serious chips, cracks or melt marks. The radio measures 10 & 1/4 inches tall. It is just under 7 & 1/2 inches wide and about 5 inches deep. Thank you for shopping at Funky retro Monkey.
