  • Notes
  • The FADA model 32-Z is the 25 cycle version - for 60 cycles see FADA 32. They have a "specially designed, Fada-15C dynamic speaker unit.

    The FADA models 16 (metal table), 17 (wood table) and 32 (console) Receivers for 60 cycles and FADA models 16-Z and 32-Z - the same for 25 cycles, all share the same schematic. They feature a push-pull power amplifier in the last audio stage, long and short antenna connections, antenna compensator. For all those there is a schematic for the first version and one for "Late production": Rider's FADA 1-1 is the schematic for the first version. Rider's FADA 2-2 is the neutralizing and compensating instructions for those 5 models. Radio College of Canada FADA 6 shows the schematics for year 1929 for them but also for a 17-Z, which they prove wrong on the same page at the bottom. Radio Service Manual, Gernsback is for "Late production" (page 144). The FADA dealer price list of December 1st 1928 mentiones the FADA 32-Z with a dealer price of 135 $ and end price without tubes of 225 $.
