- Notes
- The Packard Bell model 5R1 was available in different colors. Often collectors and even manufacturers use the term plastics instead of Bakelite when early plastic, a thermosetting phenol formaldehyde resin, formed from an elimination reaction of phenol with formaldehyde, usually with a wood flour filler was used. For the model 5R1 a guest (Brian Kays) told us that the cabinet smells like formaldehyde when he rubs it. Therefore we have selected Bakelite as material.
