RCA 66X8 Catalin
(Catalin tube table radio)

RCA 66X8 Catalin

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

From my collection comes this very impressive table radio of heavy machine age influence with extreme angular design made from a beautiful swirling piece of Catalin. It's a dark oxblood color with incredible depth of dynamic yellow flame and pale red marbling everywhere. The chunky case has an original marble-like shine, has never been sanded and is in museum quality condition. With a richly veined case like this, the colors will vary with the amount of light, so I've taken direct & indirect sun pictures - if you choose to do a little sanding, the colors will be that much richer and brighter. There are no cracks, chips or hairlines, the reverse-painted dial is flawless, knobs are original and the clean chassis has been restored so it plays the AM band well with ample volume. I have not tested the medium SW band but my repair guy says it will work with a very long wire. The original bottom label is 80% complete. About 15"W x 9-1/2"H x 7-1/2"D (including knobs).
