No one will argue that the Addison 2 series is one of greatest vintage radio designs.
It is often referred to as the "Small" or "Waterfall" Addison for the speaker grille design.
The cabinet and contrasting dial with matching pinwheel knobs and
wrap-around bumper trim pieces are all perfectly proportioned and eye pleasing.
It is a fairly small radio measuring 6 by 10.5 by 5 inches.
Addison offered many color combinations using various materials for the model 2 series;
Catalin, Plaskon, Beetle, Bakelite and enameled (painted) cabinets.
Model numbers for this design include
2A, 2B, 2C, 2E, 2F, A2A, A2B, A2C, B2A, B2B, B2C, B2F, L2, L2F, 52, and 19.
