Fantastic 1946 FADA Catalin radio model 659 with mirror shine cabinet! It looks even better in person - and we do not adjust images as others do! 6 tubes, AM reception. Beautiful rich color! Measures 11\" x 6\" x 7\". An absolutely beautiful example of this iconic radio. Cabinet is chip and crack free - just a minor stress 1/2\" line under the cabinet from expansion (as nearly all Catalin radios have). Dial lights nicely and works as designed. origin al dial cover is without damage and no decal/paint loss! All caps, resistors and tubes have been checked and replaced where failed or failing. Radio plays very well. Please review all photos as they are part of the description. Radio will be packed extremely well and mailed with full insurance. You are welcome to pick it up - I live in Northern Virginia.
