Description:
Up for sale is a beautiful and highly collectible piece of mid-century British audio history: an authentic vintage 1950s Ferranti Model 5700 tabletop wireless radio. This iconic set features a striking coloured Bakelite plastic outer cabinet casing finished in a distinct pastel blue-teal shade, beautifully contrasted by a rich slatted wood grain effect front speaker grille.
 
The bottom cream control console houses a clear analogue tuning dial detailed with historical European medium wave and long wave radio stations. Two original ribbed control knobs flank the station display for clean, minimalist functionality. The right side of the wood effect facade features the classic raised silver Ferranti branding text.
