• Annotazioni

• EE: The chassis structure of "Bullet" 115 and "Bullet" 116 are the same as for "Bullet" 1000. - but Bullet 115 and 116 feature only 5 tubes. The hole for a tube tube socket most left and most rear (seen from the rear) is empty. The FADA Bullet 116 comes with a built in loop antenna called FA-DA-SCOPE, an aerial built on to the back cover which unfortunately has to be unsoldered because of short wires. The two stickers on the bottom of the chassis of the FADA Bullet 116 are mostly fractions only. One shows the patents and model Nr. 115 and the other the tube line up. This early catalin tube radio has a good value despite the fact that the "Bullet" was quite popular.
  
  Be careful about the originality of a set you want to buy! There are recent replicas.
  
  From a seller: "The 1940 Fada "Bullet" 115 Streamliner is truly a classic in catalin radio design. One of the most popular, gorgeous and successful radios ever made, it was the first Fada radio to employ a grill that was an integral part of the cabinet, instead of an insert, and to feature the famous "drop" handle that was ultimately adopted by other manufacturers. The design reeks "Deco" and differs from the later "1000" model in its smooth gumdrop knobs."
  
  Bullet 116 features SW 5.7 to 18.3 Mc, BC is 538 to 1660 Kc. The Bullet 115 brings BC only from 538 to 1750 Kc.
  
  A retailing ad of September 1940 offers the color combinations for model 115 (including 116 - but not distinguished ...): A = all alabaster, AR = alabaster with red, XA = onyx with alabaster, MA = ruby like maroon with alabaster, BA = blue with alabaster. Good to know: Today alabaster has changed to a yellow color! Price is 19.95 $ (this is for model 116!) "These models also available in two bands - 16 meters listing at $ 22.95".
