If you’re an uncompromising collector of antique technology, make sure to check out all my listings after you look at this one. I don’t think you’ll find a better, broader or more balanced assortment of technical antiques anywhere — hundreds of listings each year, almost all of them featuring eye-popping “gee whiz” gadgetry in exceptional original condition. Here’s a nice Fada “Cloud” radio that dates to the mid-40′s. The radio is original throughout, including the back and the grill cloth card. No cabinet damage, just scattered scuffs in the surface of the polystyrene, most of which are on the bottom. On the sides of the radio are spots/areas of brown residue of some type that I have not attempted to remove. As you can see in the photos, the radio has not been touched in decades. It will need some cleaning and some polishing, along with necessary/appropriate electrical updating and possibly some new tubes. It is NOT working. Dial string is working, and the dial cover is clear. On/off volume switch appears to be working — mechanically at least. When the radio is plugged in, it does not power up. To repeat: this is a non-working radio. It is being offered for collecting/historical purposes only. If you want a working radio, and you don’t have the skills or resources required to undertake restoration or repair, this radio is not for you.

Vintage Bendix Deco Radio. Bendix 114 in Swirled Brown Polystyrene Art Deco Bendix Tube Radio made circa 1946. The model 114 shares the same design as the Catalin 526C version made by Bendix and it is an unusual design made of four pieces of Polystyrene. This radio is extremely stylish with the marbleized brown cabinet and contrasting tan front. This swirled brown with white and tan is a color seldom found in plastic radios. This radio has both a unique design and construction. The swirled brown top and sides are molded into one U-shaped piece that fits down over the tan piece which forms the front and base of the radio highlighted with its five streamline horizontal grooves that stretch across the front of the radio. The two rounded corner pieces that bolt onto either side of the dial are a unique feature unlike anything found on any other radio. Radio is in beautiful original condition and retains a beautiful natural gloss that shows off the marbleized color. The Polystyrene sections and trim are in very excellent original condition with no cracks, chips, or repairs. The cabinet has a tiny little spot on top- looks maybe ash from someone’s cig. It is less than 1/16. Can be seen in photo 5. The original gold and red dial plastic is also in perfect condition. Radio measures approximately 11″ Wide x 7″ High x 6 Deep. All vintage electronic devices should be gone over by a qualified technician. The item “Vintage Bendix Model 114 Polystyrene AM All American 5 Tube Radio” is in sale since Monday, September 18, 2017.
