  • Notes
  • The FADA-18 table model has the same cabinet as FADA-16 (corresponding AC model), completely self-contained for operation on 100 to 130 volt DC lines. The dealer price list of December 1st 1928 is telling us this plus "uses 4-201, 1-200 and 2-171A type tubes". This is the original tube set up for this radio - but the schematics and reference books list the stronger UX112A pin compatible tube, which was used for replacement! One dial (primary tuning control knob). The cabinet is a single dial and ornamental metal case. Dealer price is 72 $ without tubes and end price 120. Push-pull power amplification in the last audio stage.
