Mysterious Fada unknown radio chassis??
3/4/2011 10:04:42 AMChris
Hello I have a mysterious old Fada radio chassis that can be seen on my Youtube channel "Thermionman1970". "Mysterious unknown Fada radio and Victor power supply" I don't know how to put the link on here,still learning about computers.Anyways this is a really interesting chassis with a huge tuning capacitor and these neat dome shaped coil covers and posts that I believe were for the grid cap wires.The supports for the tuning capacitor are pot metal and are broke and cracked and I will have to make new ones out of wood or metal etc.If anyone can give me any info or a model number of this radio and pointers on its workings etc. it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Chris

Your Fada was made around 1930. Here are FADA schematics. See if you can find any numbers that match?

Noticed 4 pin tubes have been removed. Two would have been #45 and are expensive.

I want to mention that I just put those screen grid tubes (24A and 35)in for show but I think maybe the tubes are suppose to be 27's. So could this be a neutradyne radio.The mystery here is the 3 metal posts next to the tube sockets and the brass metal plates under each stage in the tuning capacitor.????
