Here we have a stunning 1941 FADA model 209 tabletop tube radio featuring an eye-catching Fairway Green painted Bakelite cabinet, "Golden-'Glo" dial, louvered grill, built in loop antenna and fantastic performance.Cabinet: The Fairway Green painted Bakelite cabinet is a real stunner. Its unique design certainly showcases a transition from the Art Deco era to the more streamlined Jet Age. It was obviously well cared for over the years as it is free from any chips, breaks or cracks. The large, louvered grill not only looks great but allows for optimal sound from the speaker. Take note of letters spelling out FADA embossed above each grill bar. Very cool! This Mid-Century Modern piece is sure to attract attention no matter which room in the home or office you choose to display it in. Dial & Knobs: FADA's famous "Golden-Glo" dial is quite attractive. It is illuminated by a top mounted dial lamp for easy dim or dark room tuning. All letters and numbers on the dial are legible and show very little signs of wear. Both knobs are in perfect shape and control on/off & volume and tuning. Chassis: All tubes in the 5-tube chassis were tested with any weak tubes being replaced. All caps, filters and resistors were checked and replaced as needed. All brittle or bare wiring was replaced or re-insulated. The chassis has been cleaned, lubed, and re-aligned for optimal performance. Using just the built-in loop antenna the radio plays exceptionally well. I can pick up many stations across the AM broadcast band with great tone and plenty of volume.Not a fan of AM broadcast? Little or no AM stations in your area?

Many modern-day appliances can also interfere with reception and cause static, distortion or buzzing. This is an 80+ year old AM radio. Its reception, sound and performance should not be expected to compare to a modern radio with today's technology. Playing capability is accurately described based on my location, surroundings and hooked up to a loop or 12’ copper line antenna. The antenna will be included in the sale, but I cannot guarantee reception quality in your area. It may differ (better or worse) depending on your location, surroundings, distance from AM broadcasts in your vicinity and interference. Antique Radio Electronics, whether restored or un-restored, are by nature hazardous due to their voltage, design, age and should not be operated unattended or for great lengths at a time. Any operation, repairs or other adjustments are done at your own risk.Click here to add us to your favorites and Click here to view our other listings including Bluetooth transmitters, novelty tube lights, Zenith black dial wall clocks, vintage radio dial coasters, retro Bluetooth speakers, grill cloth, decals and many radio, amp & vintage electronic supplies.
