Sentinel 284 "Wavy Grille" (1946)
(Catalin tube table radio)

Sentinel 284 "Wavy Grille" (1946)

SALE!  Here is a beautiful Sentinel 'Wavy Grille" Catalin radio Model 284 in Butterscotch/Yellow color with a mirror shine finish. This radio has styling that epitomizes 1940's Streamline design resembling the automobile grille area. It is as clean as one can be found and would truly make a great addition to any radio or Deco collection. The cabinet is in excellent condition with no obvious cracks, chips, repairs or tube burns & has oxidized very evenly. Knobs, dial, back, grille cloth, etc. all original. Two items I would mention is the grille cloth shows some light wear especially up towards top, but elected to not replace as it is only original once & will leave that to the buyer + radio has one small chip on the interior back panel retaining screw hole inside cabinet (see pic) at is not noticeable when the radio is displayed as it is inside hidden by the back panel. I have shown in pics & it will still hold the screw, but I will leave it out. This model is quite unique in that the chassis is mounted upside down. Absolutely beautiful display showing knobs & grille yellow & cabinet butterscotch. Not sure of the restore condition as this is a recent estate acquisition, but it plays very well across the dial picking up all my locals, but I never play my Catalins anyway & as do most Catalin collectors for all the known reasons. The dial light shines brightly which is just another reason to not play it due to heat it produces. 11"W x 7"H x 6-1/2"D.  Was $950.00, now $855.00. (1640378)
