Vintage 1946 Temple E-514 Wooden Tube Radio Receiver – Made in USA. 13″ long 6.5″ wide 8.5 tall.

Vintage 1946 Temple E-514 Wooden Tube Radio Receiver – Made in USA. 13″ long 6.5″ wide 8.5 tall.

Vintage FADA Model 652 Temple Catalin Radio in Butterscotch with original stamped back panel stating model number and information. From what I can tell, this radio is in excellent condition for it’s age, less notable flaws. Knobs appear to be replacements, they do not match photos of the original knobs for this unit but they are vintage. Small tight hairline crack on one side of case near bottom, closeups pictured. Dark spot on top, not sure if this is part of the character or a blemish. Power cord has been updated/replaced. Potential tiny scratches that I didn’t notice – please examine photos to make your own judgement! AT YOUR REQUEST: I’m willing to disassemble the case from the electronic component for packaging (my disassembly is at your risk upon request- I’m not an expert).

This one is in very nice vintage condition and has no cracks in the plastic that I can see. Please look at all pictures for condition and coloring as each one of these radios has individual characteristics and shading and coloring from age- this should clean up nicely if your wish is to restore the Catalin and know how to polish it- or keep its natural patina. The tuner window glass is not chipped or broken. All internals seem intact and as they should be but this radio has not been power tested due to the condition of the cord- it is brittle and has bare wire showing. The tuner cord is intact and works smoothly and moves the pointer across the glass. While the tuner knob turns smoothly- the on/off/volume knob is stiff/stuck and I did not want to force it to turn so. And cleaning will be. Necessary to make this a working unit. The cardboard back has a model # of 562 on it in faded print so this was either a mistake or substitution from the factory due to supply issues after war OR this radio was missing its cardboard back at some point in its life and someone put a model 562 one of it (they are the same shape and size and are interchangeable)- this is of course a model 659 because of the extra shortwave tuner in it. Please note that it is possible that the internal guts may have been replaced at some point with the model 562 radio and there is no shortwave tuner- I do not know or have any experience with the difference so please look closely at all pictures. Either way- the case is in very nice condition and the glass and tuner scale especially is super rare to find. These are the only two obvious issues with this radio that I could find, other than the cord. Information as found in the internet about his radio. Number of Tubes- 6. Main principle- Superhet with RF-stage; ZF/IF 456 kHz; 2 AF stage(s). Wave bands–Broadcast only (MW). Power type and voltage–AC/DC-set. Loudspeaker–Permanent or electro-dynamic (moving coil), system not known yet. Material–Catalin (a brand name for a thermosetting polymer popular in the 1930s and 1940s – a phenol formaldehyde resin – like Bakelite, but a two-stage process with a lot of work afterwards). Model: 659 – Fada Radio & Electric Co. Shape–Tablemodel, with any shape – general. Dimensions (WHD)–11 x 6.75 x 6.25 inch / 279 x 171 x 159 mm. Short wave version of Model 652. 528 to 1640 for broadcast and 5.7 to 18.3 mc for international short wave. Net weight (2.2 lb = 1 kg). 6 lb 0 oz (6 lb) / 2.724 kg.
