Estate find ; ORIGINAL pre-war Fada, catalin cased, model 115AR , tube radio, with the dial calibrated for broadcast and shortwave frequencies , and Fa-Da-Scope built-in loop antenna.\"The 1940 Fada \"Bullet\" 115 Streamliner is truly a classic in catalin radio design. One of the most popular, gorgeous and successful radios ever made, it was the first Fada radio to employ a grill that was an integral part of the cabinet, instead of an insert, and to feature the famous \"drop\" handle that was ultimately adopted by other manufacturers. The design reeks \"Deco\" and differs from the later \"1000\" model in its smooth gumdrop knobs.\"
The catalin case, now yellowed through exposure to UV light, was originally alabaster. The radio is in perfect condition, with no chips, spraypainting, retouching, repairs, breaks. If we want to nit-pick, it has a tiny.......tiny surface line, or crack, near the end of the lowest grill slit , next to the red dial trim, barely visible. 220 V.Shipping from Chile by EMS Postal Courier, which can be tracked on USPS, $100.
